The room and staff were absolutely wonderful. Honestly, I would’ve given this five stars except for the windows that make up the entire side of the hotel must be older, and it is very noisy from the outside. The staff did have earplugs available for everyone, which was lovely. The staff and cleanliness of the room which seems to have just been redone could not have been better.
