The check in process was quick and seamless. I used a luggage delivery service and my luggage was waiting in the lobby at my arrival. The woman at the desk was pleasant and helpful with tips for my stay. The room was clean and contained slippers as well as compartments at the door for my arrival. The kitchen has dishes and an ice tray in the freezer!! As a family of 4, we appreciated the large closet, separate toilet and bath area as well as the sliding wall. There is a beautiful garden acoss the street and many shops within walking distance. I appreciated the quiet of the area and the balcony area for the apartment. The only downside is the difficulty in obtaining a luggage delivery service for the next leg of my trip. But I would definitely visit this property again.

Great hotel! We were a family of 5 staying here and the size of the rooms was great. The hotel was clean and modern, recently built. The decor was tasteful. The lobby smelled amazing! The best part was the location. Everything was within walking distance. The neighborhood was lively and family friend. Highly recommend this hotel.
