I found the twin room very clean. The bed provided a comfortable rest. Breakfast included cereal, Greek yogurt, cheese, ham, toast, butter, honey, Nutella, egg, juice, tea and coffee. The staff changed towels and emptied bins each day. they made the bed.
The walls seemed a bit thin. I could sometimes hear people walking around upstairs.
