After a bit of a hiccup on check in, we had a decent stay. The hotel’s management team is stellar and breakfast was good!

Everything was good for our stay except for the elevator being out of service. While it was simply a minor inconvenience for us - for an elderly group it would have been much more difficult.

Dirty underwear
After checkin, we discovered used underwear in the foldout couch. The room was just gross. The next room wasn’t much better.

Sheets were not clean, tub did not drain, did not get clean towels 2nd day. Paid 500$ plus for 2 days. Should have been better than that.
