Everything was above the expectations. I was shown breakfast was included prior to booking but still required to pay separately for it. So hotel is a bit pricier than most in the area.

The place and location is nice. Unfortunately we booked our stay for 3 nights 4 days and the cleaning was disappointing. We kept asking for towels, shower gel etc. Only once they came to grab garbages out the room. I felt I wasn’t taken care of at all!
