Review: Very easy self check in. The place was so clean. Very well designed throughout. The parking was free which is always preferable and appreciated.

Very thoughtful to provide robes, modern steamer/iron and hairdryer, and the softest and warmest spare blanket. The room is loaded with all of the supplies..., by Beatriz, November 12, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
