Our stay at this hotel was very enjoyable after a long day of international traveling. The employees were friendly; check in and check out were easy. The whole hotel itself is clean and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious with very comfortable beds/pillows, as well as black out curtains. The bathroom had a beautiful rainfall shower and great water pressure. Everything was clean. The only thing that got a bit tight was the parking, but staff were very eager and quick to help if needed! We’d absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend this hotel 🙂.
