Everything was extremely clean, beautiful and well cared for. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. However the beds, were HORRIBLE. Im not talking just a little firm uncomfortable. I mean I would have had more.cushin sleeping on a carpeted floor. If it wasnt for the beds, I would have given this 5+ stars.
