Best hotel we have ever stayed at!

This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at! From the cleanliness of the room, to the extra surface space everywhere, the hard floors (no carpet, yay!), the top of the line shower, etc., this was such a great experience! We will plan to stay back here when we are back in this city! Not to mention, the hotel has a wonderful restaurant in one of the top floors!
