Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice. We would ask for a room two rooms to the left of ours as ours was a little noisy. We had a nice balcony, but with NO chairs outside to sit on. Why? Wi-fi was sketchy and didn't work. Breakfast was good, but would have preferred some sugar-free waffle syrup and butter that was not so hard and some plain yogurt (not flavored).
