amazing stay!

friendly ownerscomfortable bedroomsmall fridge
the owners and staff were very friendly and cute! they did everything to. they even changed breakfast times to suit us. the hotel is super clean and the bedroom very comfortable!
i think a small fridge in the room would be very useful. families with kids could keep yogurts and cold meals in it.
