"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, the room was lovely, and everything was very clean. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The only downside was the beds are a vit hard and the elevator situation. Having to take two separate elevators just to get in and out of the hotel was a bit frustrating, especially since they were often quite busy. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!"
