The Silken Thomas

The hotel is excellent and i have used it many times in the past and will continue to do so in the future. The only thing that caused me a bit of confusion was on my credit card statement it was listed as cloudbed and no mention of the hotel name which caused a slight issue trying to find out what the payment was for..

A wonderful stay. My only complaint would be the annoying green glowing ring greenlight in the ceiling of my room.
