"The room was beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious, with excellent service! They offered great recommendations for places to visit, good food, or routes if you asked. There was afternoon tea, and some snacks available in the evening too. We were so happy with our two-day stay that we extended it for another day. Since our flight was early and we'd miss breakfast, they thoughtfully prepared milk and bread for us. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends!"
