"We were going to be up very early so we would miss breakfast, we asked the previous afternoon if there was any way to get a pastry before we left and she said she would bring us something in the evening before we went to sleep. She ended up bringing us six containers full of food. It was such a kind thing for her to do. She provided us with more than enough! We were very grateful because we did not feel like we missed out on breakfast. The room was very clean, although the TV channels did not work very well for us. Well, we did not end up having time to use the amenities, I imagine they would be just as nice as the beautiful flowers leading up to the entrance. They were incredible. There is parking on site. Suuuch a good experience though and with such kindness and great hospitality!"
