What a gem! This place was absolute perfection for our girls’ weekend! The location couldn’t be better—right downtown and within walking distance of everything. We loved all the thoughtful touches, from the beautiful wine glasses and cozy robes to the incredibly comfortable beds. And I have to mention the pull-out sofa—hands down the most comfortable one I’ve ever slept on! The heated floors, towel warmer, and amazing showers made everything feel extra luxurious. Additional parking was also super easy and convenient, which was a huge plus for our group. Every detail was so well thought out, and the entire place was charming, cozy, and comfortable. Truly, no notes—just perfection! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
