I had a short stay, but it was a great experience overall. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. What really stood out was the lobby staff especially marco and feven— everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They made check-in smooth and set a great tone for the stay. I’d definitely consider staying here again.
