Stayed for one night in Aug 2024. The staff are great. No problems checking in or checking out, the pool on the roof is beautiful. The only negative thing I would say if the hotel has a smell of mildew or mould.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rooms are well decorated, modern, and very clean. However, bed linens and bathroom towels show wear and appear past their prime. One of the beds in my room had suspicious black dots on the fitted sheet. The beds are quite low to the floor and the mattress felt very worn out. Breakfast is very nice with some variety offered each day. Staff were friendly and helpful. TV is older and did not provide the ability to stream or an accessible HDMI port. At this price point, I would expected better.
