I have stayed at this hotel a number of times. I love the size of the room, the amenities, and the shower and bathroom setup. The staff always performs well when I'm ordering room service or just requesting bottled water. I also love the sports bar and restaurants they have in the hotel. The TV system is very nice because you can order right from the TV remote and food is on the way. The gym is nice with plenty of equipment. I will stay here again.

A superb hotel with an excellent dinner and breakfast — this hotel truly deserves all 5 stars. The parking was great, and my superior room was magnificent: huge, spotless, with its own walk-in closet, bathtub, shower, and the most amazing pillows. I have never experienced such soft pillows anywhere before. The staff were incredibly attentive and polite. Overall, especially for the price I paid for my stay, this hotel pleasantly surprised me. I also enjoyed a wonderful visit to the sauna and swam in the large pool. In the lobby, my friends and I had delicious coffee with desserts. Most importantly, the hotel’s location is very convenient for visiting all the attractions — feel free to rent a car and go exploring.
