Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is fantastic, and the amenities were excellent, making it a comfortable base for exploring the area. However, I did encounter a few cleanliness issues. Despite requesting a thorough vacuuming of spiders and ants, they remained in the same spots when we returned, which was a bit disappointing. With a bit more attention to room upkeep, this place could be perfect.
