Loved the Celestine. The facilities were spotless and the staff were so lovely. The location is amazing as well. We did stay in one of their larger rooms but would be happy to stay here in one of the smaller rooms because the staff were so great.

Back felt mattress by second day. As solo traveler I would have preferred desk or table and appropriate chair instead of low, far back leaning chairs with coffee table. Though I saw luggage stands throughout the hotel, there was none in my room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was outstanding.
