i found the staff super helpful. the setting was lovely. i also enjoyed the quiet atmosphere there.

My hairdryer wasn't working. This was quite inconvenient. i noticed only one mini shampoo and shower gel were available even though two of us were staying. i thought there were carpets everywhere, almost like an old people's home.
