We had a nice stay. Our room was clean and breakfast was good. Pool and pool area were quiet and relaxing. We had no hot water and we were supposed to have a ‘terrace’ but our room just had a window.
Loved the artwork on display!

Room was fine, no complaints. Clean, comfortable beds. Easy parking. Breakfast was ok, not great, but it’s included, so again, no complaints. It would have been nice if coffee was available before the breakfast area opened, as it opened a bit later than the advertised 6:30. Room was quiet, shower had good water pressure. Convenient & well-priced option for a one night stay before an early flight. Italian restaurant was decent for dinner.
