Simple yet functional furnishings. The bed could have been a little harder but that's just personal choice. My only concern was vehicle security in the carpark. No problem occurred but I hope they have security cameras.

This hotel is soo nice! It is very clean and neat, the pool is sparkling clean, the decor looks quite new in all areas. My room is way nicer than most. I just got the basic, yet it has a really nice sink with lots of counter space, a clean bathroom, a lovely crisp bed with lots of white fluffy pillows, a mini fridge, microwave, nice large TV, even a couch with a lamp and writing/working table. The staff with whom I signed in with was so friendly and kind. This is just a wonderful place! It's also very quiet. I have a view of the courtyard and pool. I will stay here again.
