Perfect Stay!

convenient locationfriendly staffuseful fridgeunclean mirror

The location was ideal! The staff was very friendly and helpful . My room had a fridge. That was very convenient. The pillows were definitely better than most hotels. I believe they contained feather and down.

My room needed a bit more attention to cleaning. I saw a toothpaste mark on the bathroom mirror that wasn't cleaned .
