reservation confusion drinking water
The check-in process was not very smooth. I had booked a room, but the front desk had difficulty locating my reservation. This caused a delay and some confusion (a bit frustrating after a long journey). the lack of drinking water in the room was a bit disappointing, especially considering the price I paid for my stay.

nice stay close to the city

excellent service cheery attitude
we booked two rooms for five adults and two children. the front desk efficiently addressed our needs upon arrival. breakfast was quite busy, but isram, a staff member, was very cute! she started our morning with a cheery attitude and excellent service.
the wifi needed resetting every 24 hours, slightly irritating. this became inconvenient after a long day when i was trying to unwind. i needed to repeatedly re-enter my information.
