This is a tiny little hotel with a BIG bed!!! E we were able to use the kitchen and there’sa nice balcony and common space to use too. The staff was SUPER kind and accommodating. Breakfast was a croissant and banana and coffee. Shower was hot -sometimes too hot! Overall great price for what it was.
