delicious breakfast helpful staff odd smell simple furnishing

The breakfast was wonderful with choices of meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, pastries and breads. I especially loved sitting on the patio. It had orange, lemon and lime trees. The sun kissed parts of the patio while I enjoyed the delicious breakfast. It felt romantic. Emmanuel at the front desk was very helpful. He got us checked in smoothly.

Our room smelled a bit odd upon arrival, I think. The furnishings in the room were quite simple. It seemed like a grandma's house with quirky touches. The dolls near my room weren't my style.

I found the staff very friendly and ready to help. They answered my questions quickly! The room was super clean. The breakfast buffet offered a really nice selection of items.

The walk to the city center took a little longer than expected.
