"The views and outdoor space were very good. It’s a bit older but that was expected with the price. We were happy to have laundry in the room with a great rack so it dried quickly. We had some miscommunication with breakfast but it wouldn’t deter us from staying, just make sure you confirm. If you are not able bodied, it is challenging with lots of stairs."
