    The hotel is set back away from the main thoroughfare where all the other hotels are grouped. I liked that it was quieter and in more of a residential area. It was incredibly clean and well appointed, the room was way more than I expected. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, just so comfortable. I didn't come into contact with a lot of the staff but the ones I did were very friendly and helpful. All in all it was a great stay and I'll definitely be staying there again!…
