Comfortable Stay in a Central Location

easy locationpacked breakfastmissing cup

The hotel's location. Securing Ubers was simple. The hotel was recently renovated, I observed cleanliness. The team accommodated my request for a packed breakfast on my early departure day. The staff handled my needs well.

The hotel didn't provide cups or tea in the room though there was a kettle. I expected it.
