I reserved a double bed studio suite but was placed in a regular room for the same price. The attendants didn’t inform me that they had switched my room. They claimed there was a maintenance problem with suite but the rooms were the same.

We liked the little cafe that served a pretty good free breakfast as well as a light evening dining menu and bar. There is a nice patio with fountain and fire pit at night. The room was spacious, clean and well furnished.

Staff was very friendly Would be nice if the pub is open before 4 pm for food and drinks Also website says open until 10 pm we went at 9:30 and bartender rudely said they closed at 9. Free breakfast in the morning was great.
