The staff at this hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is stunning, with a unique and captivating design. They have a 24/7 snack bar that offers a wide variety of delicious snacks. The waffles with fruit, Nutella, and powdered sugar were absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this hotel to my friends and family, and I’m already planning to return for another stay.

It’s a nice place, the staff was super friendly and helpful, room was clean. Only issue was only 2 bath towels for a two queen bed room. I know the front desk would have easily brought extras but we didnt realize until we were showering and didn’t want to wait.
