The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the check-in process smooth and enjoyable. We also appreciated the lovely breakfast options, which included gluten-free choices, and the clean, comfortable rooms that offered fantastic views. The cozy lounge was a great spot to relax with a book, and we can't wait for the telescope to reopen!
