Sublime Stay

spacious layoutpremium toiletrieseasy accesssimple parking
The room had a spacious layout, with a separate seating area. I found the bathroom well-appointed, complete with premium toiletries. The location allowed very easy access to local attractions and dining options. I also appreciated the hotel's valet service. It made parking simple.
The in-room thermostat was a bit tricky to adjust initially.
