    Option to have breakfast in room, rooftop or lounge area. Great location and walkable area. Room was really nice, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Had a nice Juliette balcony with view of the bay. Enjoyed the evening wine reception and took the drinks to the cozy rooftop. Relaxing and romantic stay.
