"This is a nice hotel for a true tutor experience. The breakfast was gone to fall. And you can’t beat the location. They did email me about room type and I did respond specifically and did not get the room I wanted. So make sure you remind them at the desk when you check in what kind of room you wanted. Unfortunately for me bad knees, I had to walk up two flights of stairs with my suitcase."
