Crisp Linens Comfy Bed

I was pleasantly surprised on how laidback this hotel vibe is. Perfect for our 2 night stay for a business Convention. We liked the room and the modern decor , only wish it was a King size bed. The bes is comfy, sheets and towels are like new, luv. It's a minimalist dream, LOL.
