10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was super welcoming and very helpful during check in. Everything was explained very clearly. Free drinks were delicious and we definitely took advantage. The previous guest at the room we had sprayed cologne all over and the smell was very strong, we communicated this to staff and they were quick to arrange a new room for us, no questions asked. We really appreciated it. Super clean bathroom and a excellent amenities. Thank you all"
