10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed at! Friendly check in and spotless room. The bed was very comfortable, room has a nice layout and I really appreciated the washer/dryer! The bench outside of room was a nice spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine at the end of my day. "
