clean room but the overall feel of the property was dated and there was a slight "damp" smell. Room felt too sterile and not relaxing.

Breakfast was very good, service was good. Everyone that came to breakfast was confused about how it worked and had to get an explanation from the server. Not complaining but maybe it is something you could look at making more clear.
