This hotel was really nice. The staff was very nice and answered any questions I had. The hotel smells amazing when you walk in and looks very clean. The room was more outdated than I expected and the restuarant downstairs with the patio was closed which was unfortunate. The hotel is situated in a convenient area and you can easily walk to some restaurants nearby. Overall I had a good experience but was expecting more modern rooms for what I paid.

The hotel was very nice. I enjoyed my stay. The only downside was it didn’t have a fridge in the room. The pool was nice and clean. The fitness center had a bit of everything needed for a workout. Overall a nice experience.
