Such a pleasant surprise to get here and find it better than the pics & reviews. The gym is in a different building than we are staying in, but just a short walk. The room is spacious, clean & comfy. The staff is friendly and very helpful

The "front desk manager" Jasmin was not very professional when I told her and showed her that I woke up to bed bug bites. Stay there if you want bed bug bites and unfriendly front desk manager.
