I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious with a beautiful view, and the lovely breakfast was excellent. I'll definitely be back next year for sure. Everything was perfect—10 out of 10 all around. The only thing that could be improved is having a mirror near the plugs for the hairdryer.
