    This was a wonderful stay! There was no note of a gym in the listing so I was pleasantly surprised to find access to one. There was coffee downstairs for a really affordable price. All in all this place was really wonderful! If i had to find a complainant I would say the bed could use an update? It feels like it slants to one side, however we had a wonderful stay here, it was clean and beautiful :) plus, the check in was super simple! …
