Comfortable and easily accessible

The rooms were tidy and very comfortable. From check in to check out everything went smoothly. The rooms needs to have hair dryers and irons to make the stay even more convenient. That way guests can fix themselves without having to call someone and checkout will be faster This was my 2nd stay at the hotel and won’t hesitate to book my next stay there.
