Love it!
Location is excellent. Have stayed here before twice and will be back soon. Very clean and service is excellent. Had an issue with air conditioner in our first room which was addressed immediately. Couldn't be fixed at the time and we were immediately moved to another room and because of our issue, we were given a bottle of Champagne for our troubles. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Can't wait to return
