Staff was accommodating and hotel is in an excellent location. Hotel was also clean. We had drinks and dinner the last night at Certo and it was excellent. The food was delicious and the drinks were perfection. The only negative was our refrigerator did not work, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.
