10/10 Excellent
"We want to appreciate the great service provided by the staff at the hotel. Special shoutout to Lili who was at the restaurant. She was super helpful in providing us vegetarian alternatives and was kind enough to even fit in some more options to be made to suit our vegetarian palette. The reception staff was also extremely helpful with super checkin/checkout experience. They were also kind enough to provide us breakfast alternatives on days when we had to leave earlier than the scheduled breakfast time."

"We loved the location, and the hotel was overall great - the breakfast is fantastic! The only complaint was the elevators; there are only three, and only two are working at any given time. One is specifically for freight. With that said, I would definitey stay there again."

"Staff, especially Ramon, were fabulous! We returned to the restaurant twice, just because of the service Ramon provided. The property was very clean and nice. The only issue was that the hotel only had one functional elevator for most of our stay."
