Beautiful Hotel and Kind Staff
This hotel is well appointed and located in a charming neighborhood. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were comfortable and had a cosy vibe. Our room had a fireplace which was go nice at the end of a long day. I really enjoyed the high end shampoo, soaps and lotions provided in the rooms. On the day we were leaving our flight was delayed several hours. The staff gratiously let us stay in our room an extra hour after the schedule check-out time. That really made our day and we are very appreciative of the accommodation you made for us.

The property is one of the best ones I have lived at. It was clean and the staff was friendly. There are a lot of spots to eat around the neighborhood. The area was safe and lots to do in just walking distance of the hotel
