Wonderful Stay in a Unique Setting

morning balloonseasy walkhelpful staff
I enjoyed breakfasts on the terrace. I could watch the balloons soar each morning. The location allowed for easy walks to shops, and I found several excellent restaurants nearby. The staff helped me book a hot air balloon tour one day.
The walls showed minor signs of wear. Still, the room was quite charming.
