"A very nice hotel. I would come again."
Overall score4.0/ 5
I only stayed one night Unfortunately I left my air pods behind. When I discovered they were missing I was 200 miles away. I called back to the hotel and spoke to Christopher at the front desk who retrieved them from the lost and found and FedExed them to me the following day. It was very much appreciated. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
