Lemon Tree Inn
Staff were very welcoming and great location for quiet rest and relaxation after going downtown. Courtyard is gorgeous and pool is great for kids, saw a lot of families having fun. The room was very well kept and clean except the bathroom toilet roll handle but that's just one minor inconvenience ...
