Lemon Tree Inn

Lemon Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was a double, it was very spacious. Clean. The sheets smelled wonderful. The pool was great. All kinds of sitting around it. The parking would be the only thing, but even that was ok. The elevator was across the place from our room, and the disabled parking was limited. My sister who was with me isn't very mobile, but she managed. I would definitely stay here again!"
