Great location! Avanti Mall, the train station, and several bus stops were all within a five-minute walk, which made getting around very easy. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We were a group of six and stayed three people per room. The rooms were a good size, and we didn't feel cramped at all. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family!
