Excellent stay. Grateful for the details!

fluffy towelsgreat choicehigh-quality itemsconstant hum

The staff were cute. I felt very comfortable. i really appreciated the cleanliness, especially the lovely, fluffy towels. the breakfast was fabulous. It offered a great choice of high-quality items and as much as i needed.

My room was located next to some kind of fan. This hummed constantly and affected my sleep. there was no notification about this when i booked, so i couldn't decide if i wanted to stay in that room.
