Hotel Haven
It was a very short stay, one night only but a local friend highly recommended it and so I decided to try it. The room was very pleasant and surprisingly even with my horrific jet lag, instead of tossing and turning I had a wonderful sleep on the most comfortable mattress. The staff were super friendly ...
