8.4/10 Very Good! (97 reviews)
I stayed at this hotell for two weeks. The emenities were feasable.My hotel door had closing problems {twice), a chair broke on me while sitting, they did'nt supply any tioletries. What was one of the most disturbing things about my stay was the front desk perrsonel....Ms. Diana. I believe in good customer service, and she lacks the grace and style to be the first face you see entering the hotel. She had a displeasing, non-welcoming attitude, and would not change it even on hints about it. The other personnel were fantastic, and welcoming. The breakfast was fair, air conditioning was great.
