Just an excellent experience!
This place was priced economically but the experience was exquisite! Late check in was a breeze, snacks were available upon arrival, and the breakfast in the morning was great! The beds were comfy (even the murphy in the Piccadilly suite) and far better than expected. Parking is quiet and safe and I’ll absolutely be back if I need to stay in the area!
