Everything about our stay was nice. Our room was lovely and quiet. The bed was comfortable and I have severe scoliosis, so that’s saying something. Everyone we encountered was very nice. Unfortunately we didn’t win but that are the chances.

Location location.
I got the room for the music festival because of location and it was perfect. The easy access to and from the room to the festival grounds was very nice. The location of the room to other things to do in the city was nice as well.
