The hotel was super clean at all times, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast (both buffet and à la carte) was perfect every single day! We loved our beds and and the proximity to restaurants and shops.

We upgraded to an apartment unit and were happy with the amenities provided. The staff were very friendly and efficient and willing to assist us with our needs and questions. Communication was easy. The only complaint is noises from above and in the hallway area. Minor inconvenience. Parking was easy and location great.
