I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a nice well-lit bathroom and two flat-screen TVs. The staff provided excellent service, being friendly and responsive despite being busy. The location was warm and inviting, offering easy access to major roads, but not ideal for a leisurely walk due to the view of a seasoning warehouse. The dining experience was good, with globally inspired dishes available. Overall, a comfortable and friendly place to stay.

The hotel is cozy and warm, with an indoor pool and workout room. Easy to reach from major roads but not great for a leisurely stroll, given the view of the warehouse and trucks.
