The staff showed a loving, gentle nature. The location felt central. Everything seemed quite close. Breakfast each morning was a true delight. The options felt abundant and fresh.

The tv had a limited selection of english channels, a slight disappointment. I noticed the shower pressure felt noticeably low. The cleaning, I think, could use a little more attention to detail in some spots.
