The breakfast had many options. I especially enjoyed the variety of fresh fruits. The staff allowed US to store luggage for a couple of days. This was helpful since we wanted to explore the area without carrying heavy bags.

The room carpet was stained. I also noticed MOLD around the shower. The shower leaked, and the bathroom became wet each time we used it.
