Past guest experiences and opinions

United States, August 2023

8.8/10

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and bright, and the staff was incredibly cheerful and welcoming. The breakfast provided was great, making my mornings enjoyable. However, there was a strange smell in the room that was a bit off-putting. Despite that, my six-night stay in the spotted leopard room was quite memorable.
