Sweet Escape

lovely staffcandy giftluggage storagerefreshing lounge
The front desk staff was so lovely. They left balloons and candy for my daughter birthday. Staff stored our luggage before check in. The lounge area allowed us to freshen up before our room was ready.
The hotel lacked a restaurant. This meant finding breakfast elsewhere.
