cute staff furnished room immaculate cleanliness road sound wine price food quality
The location had an really good surrounding. The reception staff were very cute. My room was well furnished. It also was really clean.
I think the sound from the road is very clear. It disturbs the peace. I think the price for a glass of wine is too high.
