Beautiful Hotel and Kind Staff
This hotel is well appointed and located in a charming neighborhood. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were comfortable and had a cosy vibe. Our room had a fireplace which was go nice at the end of a long day. I really enjoyed the high end shampoo, soaps and lotions provided in the rooms. On the day we were leaving our flight was delayed several hours. The staff gratiously let us stay in our room an extra hour after the schedule check-out time. That really made our day and we are very appreciative of the accommodation you made for us.
