We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are set up in close proximity to the elevators and you can easily access the restaurant on the ground floor through the same elevator. The location was great, the service was great. The check-in and out process was seamless and easy. They even arranged a taxi for us to the airport as we were traveling very early in the morning with kids. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

This is a great hotel with clean rooms, a wonderful restaurant, and an excellent location. But the best thing about this hotel is the people. Every interaction we had from the sidewalk to the front desk to room service was exceptional. The people here are friendly, courteous, professional, and always happy to help. Easily the best service we’ve had from a hotel in many years. I very highly recommend staying in this hotel.
