The black paint made it a bit dark for routine tasks like applying makeup, but overall, it's a great place. The location was perfect, close to various attractions and local restaurants, though a bit of a walk to the city center. The service was incredibly welcoming and efficient, making my stay even more enjoyable. The dining experience was delightful, especially the variety of pastries and fresh dishes every morning.
