Wonderful Stay in a Great Location

helpful staffwooden bathtubgood breakfasthappy hour

I found kind staff at this lodging, I felt welcome. My room included everythings I needed plus wooden bathtub added special touch. Breakfast included good options. I also enjoyed the happy hour, with wine at arrival.

The lodging has rules that seem a little restrictive. I had to hand in my key every time I leave and then ask it back. But these rules seemed a little stressful for me.
