Nice hotel. Convenient location. Friendly staff. Bring your own bed. What’s that you say? Not to worry if you stay put. But if you roll over, you’ll land on the floor. Not to worry, the general manager assured me that the mattresses are changed yearly. When is that exactly? He apologized that I got hurt.

We love The Library Hotel. Excellent service, friendly staff. Beautiful hotel. We were greeted with wine! So thoughtful, so wonderful. One difficulty - hard for old eyes is how dark the room is. Just a little more light. Nonetheless, we keep coming back to The Library Hotel.
