charming stay, was excellent!
spacious room lovely furnishings premium selection
the room was very spacious, with lovely furnishings, i was charmed. a premium selection of coffees, teas, and snacks was a nice touch. the staff were very attentive, i appreciated their prompt service.
i found that parking for electric vehicles was blocked by non-electric cars upon arrival. i think dedicated ev charging parking spaces would resolve this issue in the future.
