excellent stay
complimentary treat comfy bed modern convenience
every detail in the room was well-considered , from the provided ear plugs to the complimentary sweet treats. the bed was comfy and the bathroom shower was a treat. the room featured tasteful victorian charm with modern conveniences. i also appreciated the personalized notes.
the bedroom became very hot, even though the weather outside wasn't especially hot. the room already had fans, so the management seemed aware of the issue. i think management should address this problem to improve guests comfort.
