a lovely experience

fresh salad polite staff
The breakfast selection was amazing. I especially liked the fresh fruit salad to start my mornings. the location felt very peaceful, even though it was near the Main Street. i found the staff to be very helpful and polite. They answered all my questions promptly. i appreciated that my room was cleaned thoroughly each day.
My room had small windows, and i noticed flies entering when i opened the net curtains. i did use the fan, but it seemed to blow warm air instead of providing a cool breeze. It made the room a bit stuffy. i wished for a better ventilation system to keep the room more comfortable.

delicate flavors warm welcome breakfast choices small room sneaky flies uneven mattress
the restaurant food had such delicate flavors i had to savor each bite. the staff had a warm welcome . the breakfast choices were good and filled me with joy.
The room was a bit small. I wish i had more space to twirl. the windows had a net, but flies still snuck in, a small annoyance. the mattress felt a little uneven, almost like it wanted to tell a story of its own.
