A true sanctuary

attentive staff laundry facilities easy access wooden floors
The staff was attentive, ALWAYS ready to assist with directions. Free laundry facilities were a great bonus, we always had fresh clothes. The location was a true advantage. It allowed easy access to key areas. I particularly appreciated the wooden floors. They were wonderfully renovated.
The room service was available only once every three days under the eco stay program. This detail wasn't clarified during check-in.
