I appreciated the quiet setting. I slept soundly. the generous hospitality tray was a pleasant touch, and the complimentary toiletries were a welcome convenience. i found the provided towels to be quite fluffy. having a fridge in the room was especially convenient for storing drinks.

The breakfast service was relatively short at only thirty minutes. the excellent quality made it worthwhile.
