0"Again this Hotel was extremely nice. From the moment we arrived the service from the staff was exceptional and the room was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The Art adorning the walls everywhere in the Hotel was interesting if a little unusual in some cases but all added to a nice feel about the whole place."
