Staff were so friendly and helped with what ever they could and were very accommodating. Loved the hotel and the decor. Breakfast was the same but I think that was fine for my 3 night stay. Spotlessly clean and rooms very comfortable. Would highly recommend. Good location for trips and short walk into Georgetown.
