    The breakfast is served on time with our expectation on a big dining table. Option for cooking food on own is also available. Location-wise, it's excellent on the hilltop, a very safe place, very close to Capri Point, North Port, and Bismarck...

    Big rooms, very quiet location, lots of trees around the house. They organized drivers to and from the airport for a good price. The receptionist is very welcoming and eager to help, as well as the other staff members.
