The rooms were very clean and ample. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. There are pastries and coffee available in the morning. I’d definitely come back.
The staff are courteous, the room is clean, bed is comfortable, and I like the amenities. The traffic nearby is a little loud and woke me up a couple of times. I was able to go back to sleep. Overall I like this hotel and I'll be back.
Very helpful in anything we needed & great decorating! Loved the space of the room & bathroom & everything in working order!
Grateful that you fly the USA flag!
