"The room was exceptional, and the hotel staff was amazing. Stay more than one night.2018-10-22"
"Although the hotel employees were friendly and helpful, the location wasn't convenient to nice restaurants or entertainment. The room smelled like mold, and there was mold on the shower curtain. The windows didn't open for fresh air. The whirlpool wasn't that clean. Renting bicycles is a fun and affordable way to see many local attractions.2017-10-29"

"Nice hotel, though someone knocked lightly on our door and opened it before I could get up. When they saw me, they quickly shut the door. We never found out who it was, so that was a bit disconcerting. There was a gentlemen's club right under our room, and it was noisy.2018-11-06"
