Honestly I stay here by accident, but honestly one of the best hotels I have stayed so far. Great service, super friendly staff and very clean. The only thing that it was inconvenient for me personally is that there is no microwave in the rooms :(. With a kid a microwave it’s very helpful but overall it’s wonderful.
