"Great location, close to everything. One small issue we had with unclean towel on arrival was taken care of quickly when we reported it. The room was a wee bit stuffy but they were going through a heat wave and the aircon just couldn't keep up."

"Front desk staff is hit or miss. Some were very helpful. Asking several individuals seemed like you were putting them out, example was a plastic bottle of water. Again, others were delightful. The property itself is excellently maintained and well located. Really a beautiful property."
