This hotel is newly renovated and now offers sleek, modern decor. Our king room was nicely furnished, well lit and had a spotless bathroom featuring a spacious shower with rain shower head. The breakfast room is cleverly separated from the lobby by glass doors which contains conversations in the breakfast room — although we never found it loud at all. The included breakfast buffet was very nice, offering a variety of hot and cold items, plus coffee, tea and juice. All staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again

The hotel and rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool area which was well kept and had plenty of seating. The breakfast was really good with a lot of options. Right next door is Fridays and there is an Italian restaurant across the street. There is also a pharmacy across the street. Easy and quick access to things if you don’t have a car.
