charming stay with minor hiccups

beautiful roomexcellent locationfriendly staffcurved floor
The room was beautiful. I loved every detail. the location is excellent, near the water and town with shops. the staff were friendly and helpful. i felt very charmed by the room's distinct personality. it was convenient.
the old floor wasn't fixed, and it reminded me of it was sinking in places. i was worried not to fall because of the curved floor and many ornaments.

the room was clean and the bed were indeed very comfy.
the heat wasnt on when i got to my room and the window was open. this was not a good welcome during late october. i think the hotel should provide shower caps when waterfall shower is the only option, i did not brought my hair product.
