"Practically perfect in every way! This was absolutely a wonderful place to stay for my son’s BCT graduation! I’ve only ever been tempted to steal a pillow one other time but I am going to probably call soon to find out what they were! I struggle with hotel pillows and getting headaches from them(if I’m not flying I bring my own), but these were fantastic!"
