Beautiful setting with exceptional staff
We arrived late (10:00) and had a quick check-in. Parking was tight, but we found a spot. Room was comfortable and clean; access to the outdoors by sliding door was a fantastic plus. The highlight of the stay were the staff, however. We sat for a couple hours and chatted with the bartender (Polish fellow whose name I've forgotten) and receptionist (Mika), both of who were charming and just lovely people. Those are the kinds of experiences that make international travel memorable.
