Very nice Hospitality and Perfect Location!
warm drink lovely gift chocolate lava cake
I received a warm welcome drink and a lovely local gift. My room featured beautiful decorations including balloons and rose petals. Each afternoon, I enjoyed a good surprise such as chocolate lava cake with fresh strawberries. I even received local sweets as a farewell gift when checking out. The staff assisted me with ordering delivery and storing my luggage for a future stay. The location is fantastic with easy access to many attractions.
The table next to the bed was pretty useless. There was an antique old phone leaving no room to set my cell phone.
