The staff were friendly and welcoming, but they could benefit from having better knowledge about the local area, such as public transport options and what’s happening around the city. The room was nice and clean, and the bathroom and toilet were well maintained. However, the air conditioning vents need cleaning, and it’s a good idea to check the bed sheets before going to sleep.
Check in and out was seamless. Staff were lovely, especially Bella who answered all my questions so patiently. Our room was clean and beds were comfy. We especially appreciated how quiet it was in our room, as we really needed a good nights sleep after a long day of travel. I would definitely stay again. Thank you
