Really good Boutique Hotel Experience

helpful staff complimentary soft drinks ghd hairdryer provided robes
The staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I particularly appreciated the complimentary soft drinks available in the mini fridge. The room featured a GHD hairdryer offering a practical amenity. I found the provided flip flops, towels, and robes for the spa convenient.
The drink prices were higher than average but this was not unexpected.
