"Staff and hotel were wonderful! Pillows were great and showers were perfect. Location is amazing. Style of hotel is a dream. Restaurant and coffee shop were delicious! Would have been 5 stars but the BEDS were miserable. Definitely a bummer to have a hotel be this close to perfect but use discount ..."
