This was a great stay! From the staff at the reception who were very helpful and took the time to answer a few questions for us. I called a day in advance to see if we could have an early check-in and they said they would do their best and they indeed did so! The rooms are spacious, with plenty of nice towels, coffee and tea makers were provided in room. The mattresses were excellent as were the pillows and bedsheets were impeccably clean, like brand new. Best sleep experience in a hotel in a long while! Also a very nice bar area and lounge downstairs. Really good vibe all around! Thank you so much. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this hotel!
