the reception artwork was lovely and matched well with the hotel decor. our bedroom felt spacious and featured super clean surfaces, i appreciated the soft, fluffy towels provided in the bathroom. i had a perfect salmon at dinner served by a staff lovely, and the breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast i ever had. it was fresh, hot, and tasty.
