The breakfast buffet included fresh pastries and local jams. I appreciated the variety and high quality. I also enjoyed the well-kept garden. It had comfortable seating and beautiful flower arrangements. I found the staff attentive and quick to respond to requests. They definitely enhanced my stay. I want to also mention the presence of readily available parking. It was very convenient.
