9/10 Wonderful! (57 reviews)

"It was self check in, so we didn't see any staff until the next morning. We were the only ones there and pretty much had the run of the place. Beautifully furnished. There was no one else there, but we still wound up on the third floor and had to drag our suitcases up."

"Great location.I was not able to do the things I wanted to do. But that had nothing to do with the property. I was having some issues with my heart. I was too weak to do any thing.I enjoyed my visit anyway.."
