a sweet memory

attentive stafffree parkingentrance issue
the breakfast was fantastic, i loved that the staff was attentive. free parking was a pleasant bonus, it provided a welcome convenience. i found the beds very comfy, they added to the peacefulness of the stay. the bathroom was also lovely, it had a special charm.
upon arrival, i was unable to enter the hotel and stood in the rain, ringing the bell for a while. eventually, another guest heard me and let me in. i think that a better system for cute guests might enhance the initial experience.
