You need an elevator.

What hotel these days does not have an elevator??? We are senior citizens and had to walk to the very end of the hall with our luggage, etc. carry it all up a flight of stairs only to realize we had to walk back half of the hallway to get to our room. Needless to say it was frustrating.

The front desk and I had a wonderful conversation; he was extremely personable and he made every guest feel special. It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel for multiple days and my room was cleaned daily. It was wonderful. I just wish there had been more breakfast variety from day to day. It was the same for all three days.
