Great stay

We had a great time here even though just staying for 1 night. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, modern and very clean. The only downside I would say is that our booking said King size bed, but we received a double. Highly recommend a visit.

Bharat

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Our stay at this hotel had both positives and a few drawbacks. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was quite convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area. The hotel also seems to have been recently remodeled, which was a nice touch. However, the rooms were not very spacious, and the bedding felt quite old and could use an upgrade. One challenge we faced was the absence of an elevator, so carrying luggage up two floors was a bit inconvenient. While the pricing is reasonable for what’s offered, we would likely consider other options for our next stay.
