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.

We had a fantastic stay here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel warmly welcomed. Every team member we encountered was genuinely friendly, professional, and eager to help with any questions or requests. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained with a lovely, modern vibe throughout the property. Our room was immaculate—spotless, extremely clean, and very comfortable. You can really tell the housekeeping staff takes great pride in their work, as everything was fresh and meticulously prepared. Everything about our experience was smooth and seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and will definitely be returning next time we’re in town. Highly recommended!
