Had a great stay! Everything was clean, tidy, and neat. The check-in staff were very friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and helped quickly when one of our room key-cards stopped working (thank you Joseph!). The lounge was a nice relaxing place to grab a drink at the end of the day. We will definitely be back!
