Tight bathroom but the shower was fantastic with the rain head and ample size. I loved the robes. The staff was friendly and always available. A little more storage would have been nice for clothes since we stayed for a week. I prefer to get my clothes off the floor in a suitcase. A folding luggage rack would be a nice benefit to add to the rooms

The place had some charm, but the air conditioning did not work properly in our room. Every time we got back at the end of the day the room was at 80 degrees. The clothes steamer did not work either, and the mini fridge is absolutely too small.
