comfortable bed helpful staff therapeutic view small room faulty door
The staff was helpful. I received a warm greeting at the front office. I had a room overlooking the fountain. It was very therapeutic! The bed was comfortable, and the room was airy.
The rooms are small. The bathroom door did not close properly. The toilet paper holder kept falling. It was annoying.

The location was amazing for exploring nearby attractions. the breakfast had a good choice. I especially liked the pastries and fresh fruit. the staff was always available and ready to help. my room had good natural light, and there were ample drawers for storage.
