Ultimate Comfort

“I was blown away by the size and comfort of the Earth Room where I stayed. It felt almost like a small flat, with a partial-self catering kitchen that included a wonderful selection of teas and coffees. The fresh milk was a good touch and completely surpassed the powdered options I've encountered at other places.” view full review
