Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was very impressed with this hotel, especially the nostalgic theme of the original property being a catholic school. They even had curtains made from the same plaid pattern of the school uniforms. Very unique and I will be back if it doesn’t get too pricey! Great vision someone had and excellent job repurposing things from the old school!
