Loved everything about the room. Location. View. Bed was big and comfy. The room was spacious and clean. We wanted an extra chair and a small table so we brought the patio table in and chair from the balcony. Other than that, accommodations were very nice.

Although we were only there one night it was a great place to stay. We had a great view and were able to walk to get food which was nice. We had our dog with us so we appreciated the little dog run in the back.
