Pros:

Room is clean and fairly well maintained.
Bed is comfortable.
Breakfast is ok, basic, not one that I would want to have every day. Once was enough.
The view was the best about booking this room. Excellent, relaxing, beautiful.

Cons:

Personnel in general could be more approachable, friendly and professional. Not a lot of people workers even greeted me unless I initiated the greeting, with a smile on my face. It would be nice if they could be more welcoming to guests in general.
