As an older person, with arthritic knees, found stepping into the high sided shrub a bit of a challenge. Otherwise found the unit very acceptable.

All was very good apart from no elevator. I'm 77 years old with a bad knee therefore I was uncomfortable climbing 3 flights of stairs. I could have asked for assistance but I didn't. Apart from that it was very good.

Nice hotel
Well equipped room but we wouldn't have wanted to use the loft area as the stairs were too quirky.
