AP Eva Senses
Stayed 2 nights and we liked it. The room is very clean, bed is comfortable except the quilt is a little thicker thus a little too warm for sleep. We tried to adjust the thermostat but it didn’t seem to work. Breakfast is very good. Staff are friendly and professional. Location is very central too. ...
