10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and we had plenty of towels. The maid service was attentive, and the front desk staff were always friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to add another trash can, especially one in the bathroom. Coffee was always available and we enjoyed the breakfast. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay."
