the breakfast was luxurious with fruits, juice, good coffee, breads, eggs, jams, meats, and cheeses! several local choices added a special touch like tarts and cheeses. the room was spacious with a comfortable bed and even a lounge area. it was quiet and clean!

I noticed the a/c units could use a check. They functioned, but even when turned up, it took some time to cool down the room.
