The hotel was lovely. Couldn’t give it 5 stars due to cleanliness. My room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. I asked about changing rooms and was told they were all sold out. Otherwise things were good. I didn’t partake, but the daily breakfast seemed popular among the guests with the lobby eating area full of guests each morning.
