The hotel is beautiful with great paintings and decorations. The staff is amazingly friendly. Free bottle of champagne was a good addition. A phone charger is provided in each room. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The room was clean. I would add a make-up remover, small scissors and a soap bar.

The staff was very friendly. We accidentally left a kids’ blanket in the room after we had checked out and they held it for almost 12 hours for us. Check in and out was easy and fast. Internet was easy to connect to and worked well. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were comfortable and clean. AC unit worked really well and kept the room the temperature we set it to.
