"Loved staying at this hotel. Staff was amazing. Very polite and helpful. I just wish there was an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The walls in bathroom have mold starting. They could dust a bit more."

10/10 Excellent
"My room was excellent and just what I wanted. The only problem was the elevator was down when I checked in. But the AC running in my room was a God send. The breakfast may have been the same, but I was happy to have it. Thank you to the cooks for providing the meal! The WiFi was a bit slow, but I managed. The whole stay was relaxing."
