pleasant staff helpful staff comfortable bed broken pump shower tiles
I found the staff very pleasant and helpful . My room was super clean and felt really quiet and peaceful at night. I appreciated the comfortable bed and had a restful sleep each night.
I was disappointed that the hotel needed attention to detail in certain areas.
