10/10 Excellent

"Great view"

"Room was nice and clean with plenty of space. I loved that they have Dove bar soap as well as body soap & shampoo free in the shower. It was easy to check in and out. The front desk was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was a little skimpy but good enough to hold you over to get a real breakfast. They had ham & cheese croissant sandwiches."
