The location was fantastic, and the hotel was spotless and well-maintained. The room was incredibly spacious, providing ample comfort. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. What truly impressed me was the unexpected amenities offered, such as complimentary coffee, popcorn, wine, and cheese. I had high expectations for a decent hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised that every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be choosing it again in the future.

The room was clean and well maintained. The updated room and lobby areas were nice. The air conditioning worked well. My only complaint was the breakfast, which is not a big thing, more of a recommendation. They served powdered eggs, some sort of chicken on a stick, and “breakfast sausage” (cut up hot dogs). I would say either swap that out for real eggs and scrap the strange meat or add a panini press for the croissants and cheeses that were there. Otherwise, the staff and everything else was great! Great location!
