Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The newly remodeled rooms with midcentury modern style furniture and awesome bathroom were impressive. However, the AC could have been cooler during my stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and newly remodeled, boasting a fantastic view, a comfortable bed, and a great shower. The service was top-notch, with a Finance manager level of attention, and the location was perfectly nestled in the heart of downtown. The dining experience offered halal products, adding to the overall positive experience.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and newly remodeled, offering a comfortable bed and a great shower. However, the AC did not cool enough at times. The service was top-notch, with staff members attentive and helpful. The location was convenient, nestled in the middle of downtown. The dining options were satisfactory, but I wish there were more variety beyond just cheese sandwiches.
