We thought our room was very clean, and nicely presented. It was very comfortable to stay in over four nights. We’d certainly consider returning for another stay.

Art Deco Masonic Hotel
The room was lovely clean and spacious. Great to be able to use the balconies in the mornings and evenings. Our room was cleaned on our first day but not on our second day which was a little disappointing.
