The staff was friendly and helpful. They readily arranged taxis and provided information on local excursions before arrival. Our bedroom was spacious and well-equipped. New towels was every day! The breakfast had a super selection of food. It was delicious.

I noticed an unpleasant scent in the room. The temperature dropped for three days. the heat was not turned on, so the room was quite cold at night.
