I usually book a hotel based on other reviews. There’s nothing bad to say about this hotel. The hotel staff is so attentive and really nice. The hotel was clean and walking distance to a lot of restaurants. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Complimentary soft drinks and snacks in room and free delicious breakfast. I loved this hotel and definitely would recommend.
