great location comfortable bed freshly cooked breakfast useful amenities
the location was great, only minutes from attractions. the superior double room had ample space and the bed were so comfortable. breakfast included freshly cooked options and a buffet with fruits and juices. i found having a fridge and fan in the room quite useful during warm weather.
the bathroom shower enclosure feel somewhat compact, but this was a very minor issue.
