Disliked: Amenities
Staff were wonderful and our room looked nice. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. I woke up in so much pain. Though I requested a pet free room and was given one it smelled like wet dog and bothered our allergies horribly. It's odd that you can't use their internet to stream any shows but hey you can rent some dvds from them for $3 each. They do have cable TV but honestly there wasn't a lot of choices. There didn't appear to be any AC in the room but there was a large box fan. Being on the 3rd floor our room got too warm even in February. I wouldn't stay here in the summer though.

Cleanest room I've ever stayed at. I've stayed at many 5 star hotels around the world and while they dazzle, they don't always offer substance as minor amenities such as flatware, kettles, and sometimes even a coffee machine. This room on the other hand truly felt close to home as everything was spotless and well taken care of. While it doesn't have fancy views of the city, motorized curtains, or bidets it delivers in amenities and cleanliness.

The room was clean & kitchenette was stocked with utensils and cookware! This place saved me from a very sketchy stay I had booked somewhere down the street. It’s as nice as it appears! Only downside is the hot tub isn’t super warm, more like lukewarm. But I still enjoyed using it! 10/10 recommend.
