I haven’t stayed in a hotel this amazing for a long while! Everything about it was perfect, the staff, the facilities, the location / we had a room with a small kitchen area for a week and it was worth it. We hardly saw any other guests, and definitely didn’t hear anyone / it was a fantastic stay, had the gym to myself and there’s laundry facilities on most floors, I honestly didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The area itself has tons of shops and restaurants and feels very safe.
