The property is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hearty with options for all. The accomodations are full suites with full kitchens, giving you the option to self cater, if that works for you. The location is within a nice neighborhood and a short walk to dining and shopping options

Relaxing stay

This was the relaxing experience i was looking for after a short business trip. The service was excellent and the warm pool was amazing. I wish i had more time to take advantage of the longer day trips that the front desk can arrange. I also loved the neighborhood with plenty of good restaurants within 20 minutes walk.
