Acceptable, But Some Issues

breakfast optionsslippery tilesshower design
Breakfast had plenty of options, I guess.
The shower presented a safety hazard. Slippery tiles made entry and exit treacherous. I actually fell and hit my head. I think a redesign is in order to prevent further accidents.

a tender hideaway

spacious roompeaceful gardenslippery tiles
the room was spacious and clean it allowed me to relax immediately the garden seemed like a peaceful retreat a perfect escape i loved the serene atmosphere it had. parking onsite was a wonderful plus for me. it removed any stress about finding a spot.
the shower design posed a small challenge the door's height coupled with the slippery tiles created a hazard it required extra caution and care to avoid any falls this improvement could make the experience safer.
