This property should not be considered a five star hotel, false advertisement I truly feel as though I’ve been ripped off all the things I expected from a five star hotel they did not have in the rooms like refrigerators, microwaves, blankets, etc.

Excellent quality to price ratio. Central location

Conveniently located, the hotel is fresh and stilishly furnished. Rooms are unusually spacious compared to market standards. Amenity kit was excellent, so was the bathroom with baththub and ample shower. Friendly staff to top it all off
