Amazing Stay, Great Host!

tasty breakfast friendly host local tips
I enjoyed my stay! The room had everything I needed after a long day. Breakfast was so tasty with many choices to begin the day. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They took time for a chat and gave local tips.
The road junction traffic made the room noisy, and this persisted into the night.
