Liked: Staff & service
The best part of our stay was that the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom design was beautiful. We were, however, grossed out at hair in the bathroom drawer (see pics). Our room was directly across the outside public patio which looked pretty bad. They could really make that patio look presentable with some care. The premises were very quiet with plenty of outdoor lighting.
