The location is a 10! Everything I wanted to see was within walking distance. The breakfast was delicious with fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a perfect start to each day.
The staff refused to refill my mini fridge. This was odd. I ran out of snacks and coffee on day two and was disappointed to see that it had not been refilled.
