Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were quite friendly, we were able to store our luggage as we arrived early and our room was ready ahead of check in. We also were able to store our luggage after check out as well. The rooms were clean, up to date and spacious. I would recommend that they have more than 1 staff member managing check out, as efficient as she was, there is only so fast one person can move. Light sleepers should request a room away from the road noise, it did not bother me, but I am a heavy sleeper. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The hotel is located next to a number of good restaurants. Uber to old town was $5 in the morning and $15-20 back in the late afternoon.
