reasonable stay

helpful staff beautiful garden excellent food small lift difficult luggage noisy room
the staff was very helpful. i especially appreciated the beautiful garden (it was so lovely to walk around). the food was also excellent, and i really enjoyed the flavors.
the lift was quite small. the limited space made moving luggage difficult. additionally, noise from neighboring rooms disrupted sleep (it was hard to ignore).
