Solid Stay with Great Amenities

The pool was a major highlight! I used it several times . The gym was well-equipped. I saw three treadmills and several weight machines. My room had two separate sinks, very convenient. a rainfall shower. I also found several quiet spaces around the premises. Those were super useful for getting some work done.
I sometimes had to wait several minutes.
