superb location walkable location delicious breakfast minimal water street noise small water
This place has a superb location! I found it in the heart of the town. I enjoyed the walkable location. Everything was close. Breakfast was include, and that was delicious.
The shower head had minimal water come out. I had to squat down and use the tap below to shower. This was difficult because I am tall. I also could hear noise from the street at night.
