This is my boyfriends account but gosh I’m so picky with my cleanliness, with the aesthetics of a room and the area that surrounds the place I’ll be staying at and this place, this hotel everything was just perfect. Yummy morning pancakes, made me feel like I was in 5th grade again. My room was beautiful and the ambient lighting in there was perfect! Reminded me of a hotel I stayed at in Switzerland. Oh! and view of that little bank was amazing! Everything was picture perfect! In the hotel and also outside! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😊
