They're proactive, empathetic, and genuinely invested in ensuring guests have an amazing stay. 🤝 The rooms are perfect for a good night's sleep - I loved how pitch dark it was, allowing me to sleep soundly without any light disturbances. 😴💤 And, with a cafe in the works, this place is bound to become even more special! 🤤 Can't wait to see it reach its full potential.
