I booked a triple twin for 3 people and the hotel changed my booking to a Double Double bed room type with large sf and a cot. Cot was uncomfortable and room was too small. Hskpg did well to get us towels, pillows bedding.

Wonderful bar open late. Room very small. Could not open suitcases anywhere except on the bed or the floor. If opened on the floor, couldn’t walk through the room. Bed against wall on 3 sides, so difficult for the person against the wall to get in and out of bed. Otherwise hotel is conveniently located and beautifully decorated. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good.
