Although our stay was only one night it was great. The room we stayed in was clean and cozy. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The staff was extremely helpful even after we checked out they let us store our bags for a few hours. So accommodating! Will definitely stay here if we come back again.
