monumental staircaselarge roomquality linencomfortable bedding
The staircase at the entrance is monumental. I loved it! My room was large and well-decorated with light tones. The marble bathroom featured quality linens. This was a big plus. I found the bedding very comfortable for resting after a long day.
The room temperature was a bit problematic. I had a hard time adjusting it.
