The breakfast was AMAZING!!! the coffee was so good, and the fruit selection was excellent. the dining room was really cute. I loved that. also, i really liked the decor. It had interesting colors and textures.
the room i stayed in was very small, i felt that. the en-suite bathroom did not have a closing lockable door. i shared it with a friend, and we booked a twin room, but on arrival, the beds were together. the room was too small for a twin-sharing room.
