Many tourists come here to take pictures. The hotel's AG desserts are delicious and the drinks are great too! There are performances in the hotel atrium around 10 am every morning, you can enjoy breakfast while watching the show Room Type: Stayed in a parent-child room this time, a two-story loft that can easily accommodate four adults! The other room types also look great, each with a small yard.
