We had a horrible time! The room was freezing in the coldest days of the year
Breakfast was ok. For avocado toast, ask for the bread to be toasted more. It came almost untoasted. Service was great

Good points: well situated, the staff was kind and helpful (particularly the man for the parking). The room was a good size, clean and well furnished. The bed is comfy. It was a fair price for the room in winter.
Negative points: it took more than 10 min of letting the hot water flow before getting any warm water (in the shower and at the sink). The first night, we took a cold shower because of it. This isn’t normal for an hotel of this kind. The room isn’t soundproof and people in the corridor woke us up several times. The lights in the room are too bright and not cozy. Be also aware that the clearance for the parking is 5”9 and that you have to walk outside and down a slope to get there. I’m not sure if it’s wheelchair accessible.
Your staff were exceptional - both the two we encountered at checkin and the two concierges. The room was very nice and we appreciated the mugs. The room was lovey and clean. We thought the lighting could do with improvement, it was harsh and low. Thank you.
