The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, but what really made our experience outstanding was the help we got from front desk team, especially from Tom and Danny. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warm hospitality turned a good stay into a great one, and we’re so grateful for their help. The location of the hotel is outstanding—close to everything we wanted to see and do, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. On top of that, the breakfast was excellent, with plenty of delicious options to start the day right. We highly recommend this hotel not only for its facilities and location, but especially for the exceptional service at the front desk. We’ll definitely be back!
