I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The quality of the in-room amenities truly exceeded my expectations. Everything from the bed sheets to the washroom fixtures reflected a high standard of care and cleanliness. The linens were soft, fresh, and immaculately presented, contributing to a very comfortable night’s sleep. The room itself was both spacious and thoughtfully designed, providing plenty of space to relax and unwind. The washroom was spotless, modern, and well-stocked with quality toiletries. Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I would definitely stay here again.
