"The hotel was excellent from the staffing to the grounds, to the cleanliness, to the included breakfast. The only downfall I had, and I’m not gonna take anything from the five-star I gave it. Will be the bed. It was too soft, and I believe too old because I sank right in the middle of it. Besides that, the only complaint I have or suggestion that I believe that you get new beds"
