Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything went smooth since the booking to the stay. We liked the cleanliness of the place and the location. The only thing we could suggest is to replace the shampoo and conditioner with something easier to open, because the poly bag seal is really hard to tear it. Thank you
