I had a great stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that had all the modern amenities I needed.

The location was fantastic, close to the city center, and the facilities were convenient and well-maintained.
The hotel offers a convenient location, close to the central area, with the perk of dining in the same facility. The rooms were comfortable, though there was a minor cleanliness issue with a bag tag from a previous guest. The staff was friendly and professional, going above and beyond to assist guests.
