Fantastic Stay!

friendly staff warm staff
I found the staff very warm and friendly! Everyone I encountered was AMAZING. The hotel itself was fine. Every staff member.
The electric pump system on the toilet was VERY noisy when operating. I found it quite disruptive at night. I think some soundproofing would really improve the guest experience.
