Pros +
- Hotel staff are always very professional and polite! We love the Christmas decorations and vibe from the moment we entered!
- the location was wonderful
- The Staff and overall class of the hotel
Cons -
- Rooms are a bit old decor and thin walls allow noise to travel between rooms easily!
- no shelves in the bathroom to put anything anywhere! Instead of an ugly picture over the toilet, put a shelf there. Why are the hooks over the towels where you have to be over 6 feet to reach, put them on the back of the door, not so high.
- No
