I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The property was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The staff members were all very polite, helpful, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only thing I would suggest reconsidering is the check-in time. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, which makes the stay feel a bit short. An earlier check-in time would make the experience more comfortable for guests, especially for those arriving earlier in the day.
