Really good Stay, A Chef's Thoughtful Touch

friendly staff delicious sausages helpful staff enjoyable trip

The breakfast buffet was AMAZING!!! Chef Oscar prepared special vegetarian sausages for my friends, Muslim ladies. His passion for cooking was obvious, and the sausages were delicious. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful.

I noticed a minor issue, there were no tea bags or an electric kettle in the room.
