Superb Stay Experience!

helpful staffcomfortable bedfunctional shower
The staff was very cute and helpful throughout my stay. I was happy that a hairdryer was provided promptly upon request. The bed was very comfortable, and the ensuite shower room was functional. I found nice soaps were available for the shower!!!
The breakfast area seemed a little busy during peak hours, and there was a short wait for a table.
