Fantastic Stay

attentive stafflarge bedquality linensbreakfast options
The staff was attentive and met my requests. The bed was large. It had quality linens. The style of the home seemed serene. Breakfast was individually prepared. Fruit and cereal was also available.
I only had one small glass of orange juice and no offer for more, disappointing.
