a tender escape
large room sweet chocolates
The room was very large. It had everything i needed, even sweet small chocolates! the breakfast had everything we could think of and more. All were offered with friendly and efficient service and were very clean indeed. even the vents providing the air cooling were clean. we booked this place last minute and are very glad, we did.
the mattress was too soft, and consequently bad for the back. i also didn't like the views i saw from my window. i wished that, for the price i paid, it would have been better. the location is far from the center, which i knew before i booked.
