We don’t have any complaints. The room was lovely and very convenient to get to the Ark, just to the back of the hotel. The hotel over all was very nice and the breakfast was good and kept clean. Our room was very clean and the air conditioner worked very well. We were contacted several times by text to see how our stay was going.
