Excellent Stay
friendly staff excellent communication excellent breakfast
I found the staff to be very friendly. Communication were excellent even before arrival. They did upgrade our room from a standard to a three bedroom apartment, a very welcome surprise. Breakfast was excellent with varied selections.
I did notice the shower drain seemed to get blocked easily. This needed addressed to ensure better guest experience.

The hotel includes a gym with modern equipment. I noted several treadmills and weight machines. A outdoor pool provides a nice area for relaxation and recreation with sufficient seating during peak times.

low bed small breakfast
The location was acceptable. It was close to a shopping center.
The double bed felt low TO the ground. I ordered dinner and received confirmation, but after 45 minutes, they told me what I ordered was not available. The breakfast portion was small, and the process required too much time.
