Enchanting Stay in a Quiet Haven

easy walkclean roomfriendly staffexcellent breakfast
I found the location superb. It was near many attractions. The walk to the sites was quite easy. The room was clean with air conditioning which was wonderful. The staff was friendly. They assisted with taxis, dinner advice, and also answered questions! I really liked the breakfast in the dining room. The whole experience exceeded my expectations.
The shower did not drain well. Water collected during showers. It was a very slight issue, though!
