The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy processes. The room was clean and well-kept, so I had a relaxing stay. I liked the fast delivery when I requested items from the receptionist.

The hotel is very good overall, but the grout in the bathroom was falling apart.
