FANTASTIC Getaway!

fresh ingredients great variety perfect temperature
I stayed for several nights and REALLY enjoyed the premises. New owners clearly care. Breakfast was AMAZING, with fresh ingredients and great variety every morning. I spent time by the pool and it was awesome.. Very clean and the perfect temperature for a refreshing swim.
The stairs were a bit steep and there was no lift. This made carrying luggage a little difficult.

i enjoyed my stay SO MUCH. i had requested the staff decorate the room with balloons for a birthday, and they arranged it before i got there, a wonderful surprise! the hotel is close to both the town center and the beach, i found the location really convenient. parking was ample too, always a plus!
the hallways could use a bit more vacuuming.
