Erin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a pleasant overnight stay and a very nice breakfast to get us on our way. A fun thing of interest was a retro-type map of the city next to the breakfast room. By pushing a labeled button of interest, the place of interest would light up on the map, making it very easy to get around town, even without GPS!!!
