The worst Irish coffee... ever!! Squirty cream.. you can do better than that!! Restaurant breakfast underwhelming and before expectations. Buffet breakfast met expectations of a buffet breakfast

Room was quite comfortable, but could never figure out the water kettle! Need instructions for those who are traveling from the states : )

It was a long walk down the hallway to the room. I had requested 2 twin beds and assumed they would be separated. They were 2 twin beds pushed together. I was traveling with a friend not a spouse or partner. Beds were quite comfy, though.

The bathroom was very small and there was too little water coming out of the shower.
