Cozy Double Room
“During my stay in the Double Room, I was delighted with the lovely warm welcome I received and the comfort of the bed. My lady and I were both pleased, as it catered well to our differing preferences for soft and hard mattresses. With beautiful decor and an inviting atmosphere, it quickly became a cozy retreat we looked forward to returning to after exploring the city.” view full review
