This is a great hotel! Front desk is very welcoming and the best part is their breakfast. Our family enjoyed the time here .. they also have a rooftop bistro and bar which is very well done .. also, the happy hour :) shout out to Heather from the breakfast team!
The room was clean, tidy, and well-organized. The TV was huge—watching movies on it was a cool experience. The location is excellent, right across from a supermarket and a plaza, making shopping and dining very convenient. The front desk staff was also very welcoming and helpful. The only downside was a noticeable smell of paint in the hotel hallways.
The rooms were nice, comfortable and recently updated. The rooftop bar & grill were fabulous for getting some food & drinks without driving. Convenient location near shops/restaurants & major streets. A bit to the expensive side for our family visit, but otherwise was great!
Room was very clean but a bit dated. Carpet worn/stained, but so clean that you don’t really care. I’ve been coming to this hotel for the past 8 years and am always happy to return. The rooftop is amazing.
