stylish stay with a few minor hiccups

stylish doubledelicious dinnerhelpful staffrelaxing atmosphere
I really enjoyed my beautiful double. It was stylish. dinner at bistro du vin was delicious. it was quiet on a sunday evening since the bistro was empty, i found that relaxing. the reception staff were very kind and helpful, a real plus!
i did find that parking was quite limited, accommodating only about 12 cars. this was a minor inconvenience, though the overall experience was still very positive.

the staff was friendly, and the location was fairly easy to find parking.
the shower didn't get very hot, a bit disappointing. i was on the ground floor, and it was noisier than i liked. there was also a slight damp smell in the room, which wasn't very nice.
