I loved the hotel with everything they provided. If you stay a couple of nights, they dont mind to clean your room at all. The only complaint is probably the refrigerator, it just wasnt cold enough, especially i set the temperature to the lowest, unfortunately it did not work. I still give this place a solid 9.5 out of 10.

Quiet and central location
I spent a week here visiting family in the area and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The area was very quiet, as were all of the other guests. I liked spending time in the area near the front of the property with the fountain and greenery. It was a very zen atmosphere that I appreciated.
