Two main points: First off -their food is AMAZING. Incredible restaurant. Second: The room we had was tiny. There wasn’t really room for our two big suitcases - so we had to get creative. The listing for the hotel showed a much larger room when we booked, so we weren’t expecting our room to be as small as it was. There’s also not much to do around there, so was thankful we only booked one night. We would not stay there again but would definitely eat there again.
