"I appreciate that the property is very clean and the staff is very friendly and efficient. In the bedroom: the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with towels, and the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and dishes. The downside is the lack of an elevator; I stayed on the third floor, and hauling up all the luggage—plus groceries—was quite a hassle. Since we stayed for three nights, the luggage was heavy to carry all the way up."

The highlight was the private jacuzzi! In spite of the two not so great things this was a very memorable stay and kind of perfect."

"Request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs, request a room upstairs. Despite an amazing location, remodeled rooms and amazing stay, my only complaint is how thin the walls are. We go to bed fairly early but people upstairs stayed up and walked around and played music until 2am. It’s not their fault but I would request the room upstairs if I planned to stay again “also request a fan because it’s wayyyy too quiet and you hear everything!!!!
