Beautiful hotel. Loved the decor, atmosphere, and the subtle relaxing scent of this hotel. Jermaine (the room manager) all of the front desk staff, as well as the cleaning staff all went out of their way to be helpful, welcoming, and friendly. It was also a fun bonus that the rooms have a turntable and vinyl records to borrow. The only con would be that there is no elevator, but again the staff were happy to help with the luggage.
