10/10 Excellent

I was nervous about staying in a hotel with no ratings, but I was very pleased with the quality of this facility. The room was spacious and the staff was helpful, as well as friendly. Additionally, I was sick during my stay and a staff member insisted on cutting fresh lemons for me to have some tea with honey for my cough. That was a personal touch on an already pleasant stay. The hot breakfast is a great way to start the day, and I appreciated the built-in apps on the television like Netflix...
