comfortable, clean, nice place

“The place is very comfortable, close to the areas you can visit when traveling, with supermarkets and restaurants within reach without the stress of driving. Highly recommended. I should add that I left my AirPods at the hotel. They called me 40 minutes later to tell me I'd forgotten them and they had them. That speaks volumes about the staff and their honesty. I would have liked if there had been a pool for the kids
