comfortable bedhelpful stafftherapeutic viewsmall roomfaulty 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.
