Best hotel writhin 1500 miles 😊

absolutely first rate hotel and service, One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. A bit pricey, but quality was unmatched. Perfect location, Far enough outside of town to avoid the masses of tourists, but close enough to walk within 10 minutes. Restaurant/food was amazing, but menu was a bit short.
