Everything about this hotel was impeccable. The rooms were spotless, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was outstanding, with a great variety of delicious options. I was fortunate to receive a room upgrade, and I was absolutely blown away when I opened the door. The room was beautiful, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The architecture and attention to detail made the entire experience feel luxurious. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I felt like a million bucks during my stay. The manager was polite, patient, and highly professional, which made our visit even more enjoyable. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely be booking here again. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional service and a memorable experience.

The carpet was really wet in the room and it smelled like mildew. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful and moved us to another room. The carpet wasn’t wet, but it still smelled strongly of mold and mildew. The rest of the hotel was clean and everyone was really friendly. Breakfast was good.
