The staff are so friendly and cute! the bottled fresh orange juice delivered to my room before breakfast was like such a treat. breakfast was so yummy. I especially loved the chef's cooking!
my room felt a little cramped! i had to use my phone torch to see the kettle. the residents' lounge was locked up at 11 pm, a bummer. there weren't many comfy chairs in my room either, so i ended up sitting on the bed a lot.
