"This was my second stay here. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel and staff. 5 stars. The only potential issue people might have is the noise that comes from the bar next door. They play music till around 12:00-12:30. Wasn’t an issue for me, but if you are very sensitive to noise or you go to bed very early at night, you should be aware of it. I definitely would stay here again."
