amazing stay!!!

friendly staffsuper quiet placebeautiful buildingwildlife spotting
the staff were friendly and cute. i felt very comfortable . the building is beautiful and located in calm outside. i enjoyed a walk and saw deers and ducks.
access to spa facilities felt limited based on check-in and check-out hours. i also thought an extension should be easier to request without extra charge.

minor issues

messy changing roomsthin towel
The spa changing rooms looked pretty bad. it seems people who weren't staying there for the night used them and left a mess. I don't think they cleaned it that evening. also, there were way too many houseflies in the rooms and the restaurant, which suggests something is not right. the towels felt cheap and thin, not luxurious. i was like i was still wet after using one. i expected better for the price.
