Very pleasantly surprised!
"I really liked my room here. The bed was lovely, it was really clean, and it had a desk. It was also great to hang out at the pool. Had a really nice stay and wish I could’ve extended my trip and stayed here longer. And as someone who is scared of dogs, the no pets policy was brilliant!"
