Everything was extremely clean, beautiful and well cared for. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. However the beds, were HORRIBLE. Im not talking just a little firm uncomfortable. I mean I would have had more.cushin sleeping on a carpeted floor. If it wasnt for the beds, I would have given this 5+ stars.

Breakfast was just ok. Waffle batter had a funny aftertaste we couldn't quite figure out. It was all ok. Bathroom in our room smelled like sewage and we made the staff aware, but they did nothing to address it. Just a very average hotel.
