Excellent Stay with Great Service

warm welcomedaily cleaningfresh linentax payment
Omar provided a warm welcome and followed up with a courtesy call to check on my room. Nasir, the room attendant, ensured everything was super clean with daily cleaning. He replaced fresh towels, linens, and bath amenities. I will return!
The communication with the front desk was confusing during the check-in process. The staff seemed unfriendly! They also made an assumption about my previous tax payment, causing confusion.
