All in all the hotel it's nice and safe
I did enjoy my stay, the only problem I experienced it was the fact that when I wanted to shower in the morning the was no water.

Eye opening
The stay well and great, until another person received the same number as my room. The sad thing is that she open the door while I was still busy with my girl, other than that all was well

Comfortable and easily accessible
The rooms were tidy and very comfortable. From check in to check out everything went smoothly.
The rooms needs to have hair dryers and irons to make the stay even more convenient. That way guests can fix themselves without having to call someone and checkout will be faster
This was my 2nd stay at the hotel and won’t hesitate to book my next stay there.
