Everything went smoothly, from parking to check in to check out. My room was clean, comfortable bed with lots of pillows and equipped with all the basic necessities. Breakfast was good. 24/7 fresh coffee and cold refreshing water in the lobby are good perks. The entire hotel smells refreshing. Felt safe. Awesome staff. Highly recommended. Value for money.
