An Lovely Stay!

The rooftop offered lovely views. I enjoyed the scenery at both sunset and sunrise. My room was comfortable. The bed offered restful sleep. The staff was very helpful. They provided useful information. The location was perfect. I walked to the main attractions.
My room was a bit small. I wished I had more space to move around comfortably. I managed, but extra room would have been a bonus.
