We arrived extremely late for check-in and Arun went exceptionally wonderful, he went above and beyond to ensure our stay was safe and he expressed his gratitude. The room was cozy and very clean, the bed was so comfy that my son loved it. We were so happy with our stay and it was so close to restaurants and shops. Will be back again 😍
