For the most part the hotel was just fine, nothing really fancy or exciting about it. I think the staff could use a little customer service skills retraining. Breakfast was included and was pretty decent.

We booked a room here at the last minute after the hotel we originally booked had double booked our room and left us with nowhere to stay after some long flights. We were so pleased to be here, the hotel is immaculate and all the staff so friendly and welcoming. Scarlett who checked us in was particularly helpful and friendly. The bed and pillows were the comfiest I have had at a hotel. The breakfast also really good and excellent value.
