10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, the swimming pool is lovely, and the breakfast was very good. The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful. One thing I’m unsure about is the nightly rate—since I booked the stay as part of a package through Expedia, I’m not clear on how much it cost per night (for three people). I was thinking maybe I might should have a look at the rate of the hotel too.
