Great stay!

Very nice hotel staff, welcoming. Room was very clean and spacious. I was provided extra towels and water. Very nice to have microwave, hot water, and cold water dispensers though a bit of a hassle to have to leave the room to get it.

No breakfast in the hotel, so had to look around. Since it was November the ac has been switched off centrally, and it was so hot, not a pleasant experience.
