Really good Stay!

outdoor breakfast modern room private patio convenient dog walks
I enjoyed the outdoor breakfast option. It allowed me to sit with my dog. My room was modern and very clean. A private patio attached to my room was a total plus, as was the adjacent grass area for dog walks. This feature made traveling with my pet convenient!
The bathroom toiletries provided were quite minimal, just tiny sizes of shampoo and shower gel.
