Upgrade from standard room!
Property was very nice, clean and welcoming. Room was just a bit off. Two very uncomfortable chairs to sit on. Balcony overlooked a side street with houses. Almost feel like the room didn’t need to have a balcony as why would you want to sit out there. we went for a basic standard room as we were only there one night but if we were staying longer I would have been very disappointed. Great restaurant on property, highly recommend.
