The room was very clean and well presented, it was a very functional room despite not being super big! All the staff were very lovely and helpful! The hotel itself is in a very good location, very close to the mall and a walkable distance to most other things. We really enjoyed our stay!

I was not happy with the service and the place is minimal and below what I had with other places I stayed. One thing I cannot get over is, the service is horrible and I paid to be treated like I steal from them. That is worst part.
