fresh fruit relaxing experience courtyard view small room inadequate lighting empty minibar
Breakfast included many selections. I had fresh fruit every day. I really enjoyed my cappuccino and the pastry. The courtyard view created a relaxing experience.
My room felt small. The lighting wasn't adequate. I noticed the minibar was empty. I would have like some complimentary water at least.
