superb location fine pool fresh food lovely area
The location was superb! I walked one block and I reached Main Street. The courtyard and pool were a fine sight. Breakfast happened in a lovely area, a real treat. Food tasted fresh and flavorful!
I spotted a tiny stain on one of the towels. This was almost imperceptible, really.
