quiet stay with excellent service

convenient location hotel cleanliness pleasant decor helpful staff
The location proved convenient. i found the cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel to be excellent. the decor created a pleasant ambiance. the staff members were pleasant and helpful . I appreciated their assistance.
The room was a bit small. I found limited space to open my suitcase comfortably. the window did not open, so fresh air was limited. it felt somewhat overpriced.
