authentic boutique stay

homely vibesatisfactory breakfastfriendly managercleaning improvement
the room was comfortable and well designed. it had a homely vibe. breakfast was quite satisfactory. i appreciated the friendliness and help from michelle the manager and all the other staff.
i noticed a couple of areas where the cleaning could be improved. some spots seemed to be missed during the regular cleaning routine. this minor issue slightly detracted from an otherwise stellar experience.
