I didn't expect much on my quick stay there. But this is a very nice hotel starting with the enchanting lobby lights and aesthetic. Everything is clean and it looks like it was recently refurbished. The hallway carpet on the room floors was in perfect condition and that of a five star hotel. My room also was very nice. Mattress actually took away the ache in my back the next morning.
