This property is a hidden gem. The rooms are updated, clean and so fresh. It’s quiet, and I got a good night sleep. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give a five stars because the mattresses were just so firm. It was very hard for me to get a great night sleep. But that was the only thing that was wrong with this beautiful place.
