thoughtful touchwalking routeslimited breakfast
I really enjoyed the goodie bag for my dog upon arrival. It was such a thoughtful touch. the staff happily provided cutlery and plates when i chose to eat in my room after a long day. the walking routes available from reception were very helpful for exploring the area, too.
I found the continental breakfast a bit limited. there seemed to be a lack of interaction with guests by the management or owners. A simple meet and greet would have been nice.
