Un très bon séjour dans un endroit symp, sécurisé avec un personnel chaleureux et accueillant
Pros:

L’emplacement et son design intérieur

Cons:

Pas grand chose mais, l’absence des boutiques des tenues de rechange vite fait dans le parage. Et d’un petit club de musique qui puisse occuper jusqu’à des heures perdues
