I was impressed by how clean and modern the place is. The room was up to date and finished in off white giving a clean vibe. The staff was exceedingly polite and helpful. On our last day the desk clerk Barbara was very accommodating with our need to stay a few hours after check out time. This is a place I would return to and can recommend without hesitation

The hotel was okay for few nights, No point of booking this place for new year eve, Extra fees may apply if u think of late later chick out while some other hotels may be free. No food or free bottle of water or any welcoming thing in your room. The bathtub wasn’t that clean. Would say if I don’t have choice maybe will rebook it but will try to avoid it as much as I can
