Our hotel is more like a long term stay facility. When we were there in 2018, we had an amazing time – in no small part due to the on-site 24 hour grocery store located on the main floor. There, we could buy fresh groceries including dairy, baked goods, fresh fruits and vegetables. There was a convection over that you could flash cook as wide variety of frozen meals. This proved to be a bit of a life saver for Alex due to his dietary issues. It was also very cost effective.
This trip, the hotel was under new management and we were disappointed that the grocery store now stocked more beer and wine than anything else. Gone were the dairy, fresh fruits and veggies and baked goods. Replaced with alcohol. It made us sad. Our room was also disappointing in that we had no kleenex, face cloths and only one small package of shampoo and conditioner. So, we had to find a local grocery store to purchase those items along with some food such as milk, fresh fruit, sandwich stuff and the like.
This proved to be a bit of a life saver as Alex had more than his usual stomach issues. Our first meal out resulted in Alex being up most of the night with stomach distress. Fortunately, we had the foresight to bring along a variety of stomach remedies. *Whew
Anyway, outside our hotel was a beautiful canal with some amazing Houseboats – we were suitably impressed with a number of them.
