Mixed feelings about my stay

central locationsmall pool areafaulty showerhead
the location was central. it was easy enough to walk to many attractions.
the pool area was quite small for the number of guests. it was difficult to find a place to sit. also, the showerhead in my room did not fit properly, the bathroom seemed a bit below a typical four-star standard.

adam assisted us with a last-minute reservation he showed great care throughout our visit i found him helpful. the neighborhood allowed access to various restaurants and shops a wonderful experience. i had convenient parking and a spacious room featured balconies that looked out on a bustling area i really appreciated the double glazing.
the pool and pool area felt a little small given the number of guests present there was limited space for sitting around the pool.

small jacuzzicramped pool area
i was slightly disappointed with the spa situation. it's advertised, but it's really just a small jacuzzi and a steam room that seemed out of order (or at least, i couldn't figure out how to get it working). i wouldn't exactly call it a "spa. " also, the pool area was a bit cramped, there wasn't really enough space for all the guests to relax comfortably.

Fantastic Stay at a Boutique Gem

The staff was AMAZING!!! Adam provided great recommendations for local spots. The breakfast included many healthy and varied options. I especially enjoyed the fresh eggs the chef prepared. The rooftop terrace provided a lovely space to relax.
The pool area was small for the number of guests. I found it challenging to find seating near the pool. This made it difficult to fully enjoy the rooftop amenities.
