Amazing service and bed. My room was on the 5th floor facing the street and was not very sound proof. Sleep was disrupted by the sounds of loud cars and a screaming man. I left the front desk know and they apologized.

The only reason why I’m giving this property 4 in some areas stars is because when I booked, I booked based off the photos and I thought I was going to get a stand shower without a bathtub, but we had a bathtub and the mini bar there were open and empty food and beverages that weren’t thrown out. Overall, we’d definitely return
