I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, but the hallways were a bit narrow. The two queen beds were comfortable, and the room had all the amenities I needed. The construction view from the large window was a minor downside, but overall, a pleasant experience.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only big, nice, and extremely clean but also had amazing amenities and a beautiful view of the city. The two comfortable queen beds, office chair, ample lighting, blackout drapes, fridge, microwave, safe, flatscreen TV, and luxurious bath with scented lotion and bar soap made my experience unforgettable. In fact, I loved it so much that I decided to extend my stay by an extra night!
