free wineexcellent massagelive pianosheet stains

The hotel offers a cellar with free wine. I could sample local vintages. The spa has a large jacuzzi. Rita provided an excellent massage. Breakfast included live piano. Violin music accompanied several dining rooms.

The front desk did not offer a birthday greeting. The only comment was a rude question. The staff wondered why I traveled alone. There were sheet stains.

Location

The metro is only two blocks away. Trams are nearby. It is a ten-minute walk to Pink Street. Barrio Alto is also a short walk away.

Breakfast included live piano and violin music. Diners had many dining rooms to pick. Rooms overlook the patio. Others overlook the entrance street.
