Amazing Stay with Great Breakfast!

kind owner great breakfast cute host helpful service

The owner greeted us upon arrival and he explained all about the facilities. He offered help with local area navigation, a very kind gesture. The breakfast choice was immense and everything tasted great. Rich and Ada were very cute, I found nothing was too much trouble for them.

The room gets stuffy, I wish they have AC.

Location

9/10

The location is very good, it is midway between shops, bars, and restaurants. A ten-minute walk takes you to the local amenities, I believe. Walking down to the Lakeside takes about twelve to fifteen minutes.

Rooms

The room included a useful mini fridge. Fresh milk was an added nice bonus, I must say. Furnishings felt fabulous, I also found the room impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable, I can say this from experience.
