A Great Find

They do it right at Hotel Ursa. From service to Artwork, it was a great experience. My only critique is to remove the loose runner carpets in the hall. Someone could trip and wheelchair gets stuck. And find a better place to store the luggage carts. Wheelchair can't get around them when using elevator.
