Indigo Girls Getaway

We were a group of five women. The location and size were great, and the space was cute. Here are some ideas for improvements. One of the rooms had no hanging or dresser space. Also no window covering on exterior door in bedroom. Full length mirrors in every room. A few kitchen spices/oil would also be nice. Interior table, even if folding. The outside balcony with table was a little scary.
