Great Breakfast! Clean! Older facility with Antique furniture. Had towel warming rack in bathroom. Toilet and tub were very low if you have issues getting back up. I loved it and would definitely go again. had chairs outside your room on the porch to sit and look over the gardens and outdoor pool. Only thing that would make it better was an oceanview. You could hear the ocean but not see it. Great stay would stay again.
