"Was not expecting the luxury that we walked into, especially given the cost. Truly amazing. Beyond comfortable suite with a full kitchenette. Immaculate room and facility. There was a full coffee bar with a variety of coffee cake out each morning. That was not included in the hotel description and I was a huge fan of the blueberry coffee. Highly recommend!"
