8/10 Very Good! (22 reviews)
It was simple But modern elegant everything I needed plus a slightly elevated bit of Luxury added. Also extra carpet padding not normally a thing I noticed anywhere let alone typical hotel.
They definitely go above and beyond with the outfitting and appliances in the room.
Something that I can definitely appreciate and be grateful for compared to other places I’ve been.
