Superb Stay!

coffee machinegreat showerluggage issues
I really loved the coffee machine. It made the best coffee I have ever had in a hotel room. Breakfast came early! which I appreciated. The comfortable bed and the great shower are worth mentioning for sure.
I think they could improve their support with luggage issues. It would have been nice if they had offered to drive me to a store to buy necessities when my luggage was lost.
