Absolutely Great Stay!

quick check-in spacious room cute staff fantastic price

I really appreciated the quick check-in process! The staff was cute. My room felt spacious. I enjoyed using the jacuzzi . It was so relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Also the price was fantastic, great value for the room I received!

The air conditioning wasn't fully functional. It made the room a little too warm for my liking. But it was a minor inconvenience overall.
