The hotel is beautiful, in the heart of the city. The staff is amazing and always ready to help you in any way. I highly recommend including breakfast in your reservation; it's worth every penny. And if you can add the Premium Level. It's the best of the best. Drinks and food are included all day. They have a variety of delicious food options, and the service is outstanding. We are planning to go back again. I am a very happy customer.

I had reservations about this hotel when I booked as I had read a couple of bad reviews and was worried the ones I was reading were not legitimate. I stayed with my two adult kids for a relaxing couple of days before a tour and we loved this hotel!! The staff were lovely and it was safe and clean. The food was great and we would stay again there for sure.
