The staff were friendly and courteous, especially the front desk and housekeeping staff. The room was clean and there was an atmosphere of calmness from the time you entered the hotel. The restaurant on site was good as well, and their staff were pleasant and attentive. Excellent experience! Will definitely be coming back!
