Wonderful Hotel

The hotel is wonderful. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. The wine, cheese and cookies and milk is an awesome thing. Also breakfast delivered to your room is wonderful! Hotel was very clean. We used the bikes to get around the battery and the historical area. All the complimentary stuff offered is why I booked this hotel and we were not disappointed.
