9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Impressive from the outside but room very ordinary. Clean and comfortable but kitchen amenities had been stripped out with only a fridge 2 coffee cups 2 wine glasses and 2 water glasses and 1 tea spoon remaining. Seemed expensive for what we got.
