Amazing stay!

digital check-inclean roomprivate terracemissing staff
I loved the ease of digital check-in and access! The room was really clean and spacious. The terrace was such a bonus. I seemed like I was in paradise, even with restaurants and shops just a short walk away, it felt very private. It totally made my weekend!
My only little niggle was the lack of a staff member on-site. It would have been nice to have someone available for immediate assistance or quick questions.
