Verified reviewvery good

We only spent one night, however, it was well worth it. The staff was very helpful. The accommodations was as described....very functional and comfortable. The backyard was very tranquil, especially with it's view overlooking the city.....it was beautiful. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay.
