Great location

The room featuring a jacuzzi tub was a pleasant bonus, and the hotel's location was excellent, with everything one might need in close proximity. However, we found garbage and loose candy (Skittles) in the nightstand drawers, which was concerning. Additionally, the safe was locked and could not be reset. While we did not contact the front desk for assistance, as we did not need to secure any valuables, this did raise concerns about whether housekeeping was adhering to their checklists and verifying that the safe had been emptied. Despite these issues, I would consider staying here again due to the prime location and the added benefit of the jacuzzi tub.

Comfortable place to stay.

We stayed 1 night. Room was clean and check-in was easy. However, the lighted panel on the airconditioning unit (showing the temperarure in big numbers) was too bright and it lighted up the whole room in the night.
