Lovely stay apart from room...

Liked: The food, restaurant, cleanliness, staff were amazing.
Disliked: The windows in the room didn’t open very much, and some painted shut!!! probably needed a fan to cool the place down as sun had been shining in all day. A top sheet would have been nice then we could’ve taken the quilt off.
