I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The views from the room were fantastic, and it was so comfortable. The only downside was having only one armchair, but it didn't bother me too much. The service was top-notch, and the housekeeping was impeccable. The location couldn't have been better, especially being just a 15-minute uphill walk to Nathan Outlaw's restaurant. The dining experience with crisp salads was a refreshing delight. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay even more enjoyable.
