Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean and opened up to the pool, which was a great perk. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially Tamiko Roberto. The location was perfect, within walking distance of everything downtown. However, the dining experience fell a bit short of expectations, more bar service than full dining, and the price seemed a bit high for what was offered.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a nice selection of coffee and amenities. While the room didn't have that 'wow' factor, it was still very pleasant. The service was top-notch, from the valet to the bartenders, everyone was so accommodating and lovely. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring various restaurants and tourist sites. The dining experience offered good options at reasonable prices. The facilities were modern and convenient, providing a great overall experience.
Staying at this hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious and offered a lovely touch with the coffee and amenities. The service was impeccable, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location couldn't be better, making it a perfect choice for exploring the city. The dining experience was satisfactory, although with room for improvement. Overall, a great value for an unforgettable stay.
