The room was great. The welcome even better! They gave my son a fun bag of goodies, and they were keen to make sure we had everything we needed, even though it was just a flying one-night visit. We are already planning to come back and stay!

The room was great, beds were really comfortable. The only reason I didn’t give a five star was because they don’t have breakfast at all and I requested one room to be a smoking room but we didn’t get it.

The place is well located with several restaurants. The room was clean, beds comfortable. The main drawback was the young lady at the desk for check in. She wasn't smiling and seemed bored by us. We are used to English but she spoke very fast without articulating, making no efforts even when we asked her to repeat. It was annoying. Fortunately, the lady at the desk for checkout was really nice and welcoming.
