Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a great stay. The hotel was reasonable and the location awesome. Breakfast had many options, my super picky 10 years old found new things to try. On the negative side, the bathrooms are very tiny (shower where a grown up can barely turn) and they could be cleaner (e.g. the shower curtains should be replaced/washed for each guest - it was rather disgusting).
You can’t beat this view
