The breakfast was AMAZING!!! i really enjoyed the selection. the staff was always ready to help and very polite. the location was also great for walks. I could explore nearby areas easily.

The bed wasn't the most comfortable thing ever. i also noticed a strange smell in the bathroom and bedroom. the service in the restaurant was sometimes slow. It took a while to get someone's attention.

The food was delicious. My family especially liked the jam made fresh at the hotel for breakfast (so grateful for that!). The apartment was spacious. It also included an outside seating area offering views.

The instructions for the hot tub weren't very clear.
