9.2/10 Wonderful! (387 reviews)

We loved our stay here. We had our two teenage sons with us and the room was perfect. The staff was incredible- so helpful and answered all our questions. They called taxis for us, recommended delicious restaurants, and even stayed up for us to arrive nearly in the middle of the night. Each morning they had an amazing breakfast for our family, which was one of our favorite meals of the day. They would do a juice, fresh fruit, granola, and then would make toast or eggs if we wanted it. Safe neighborhood and we felt very safe with the gate around the hotel. Would absolutely stay again.
