The staff is excellent and very cooperative. I had sprained my foot, so the lady at the check-in was kind enough to give us the room at the ground floor. We ordered food from the room service, and the taste was excellent. The prices were also not that expensive compared to food in the nearby restaurants. The entire hotel has this king-era vibes which is just awesome. Parking is a bit limited, but plenty of parking was available outside.

This is the second time we've stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. Love the tudor vibe that's carried out across the rooms and the restaurant as well. Very fun. The 2 bedroom unit is fantastic, tv in every room as well as warm and spacious. The onsite restaurant is very handy and food was yummy. We will definitely stay here again next time! Thanks
