“The desk help and security were outstanding, the maid service found out my habits after the first day and were wonderful, this may be a three star but I rate it as a high four or a low five. Most of the other hotels have elevators that my mobility scooter wont fit in but this one will Horah for the disabled people like me. This is a breath of fresh air.”
