My Experience

I only stayed for one night, but the room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were excellent. It was also very spacious. I had forgotten some important toiletries at home, and the staff kindly provided them at no extra cost. I will come back and recommend this hotel.
