a wonderful stay

delicious breakfastbeautiful roomeasy spalow ceiling
i pre ordered breakfast the night before, and it was delicious. the room was BEAUTIFUL and came with everything i needed. the spa was also really nice and easy to get to. the area is great and easy to get around.
The room was situated in the roof. it meant it had a dangerously low ceiling directly above the bed. i assume other rooms don't have this issue.
