"Absolutely LOVED this hotel and I'm very picky!! We stayed here for a few nights and it was wonderful. The breakfast delivered to the room to enjoy in front of the huge glass doors that opened to the balconette was lovely. The rooms were huge, it's centrally located and the staff is incredible. The wine and cheese in the evening and cookies and milk at night were a nice touch as well. Will definitely stay here again!"
