I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were truly outstanding; the bed was wonderful, clean, nicely decorated, and extremely inviting. However, there was a loud humming noise apparently from an AC unit that was annoying. The hotel was beautiful, though.

I had a truly outstanding experience at the hotel. The bed was wonderful, providing excellent rest. However, there was a loud humming noise, apparently from an AC unit, that was annoying and disruptive. The air conditioning was very effective, and I appreciated the bigger kitchen area and more windows in the room.
