Comfortable and Clean

“During my stay in the Beautiful Twin Room, I found that the room was very clean and tidy, with meticulous attention to detail. It was a great relief to see that the room was cleaned twice during our 3-night stay. Plus, the wet room setup was incredibly accommodating and made for a very comfortable experience.” view full review
