Gloria United States of America

Location was super! walking out the front and to the shops was great. We enjoyed the space of the split queen, the breakfast was good too but was chaotic with a tour bus staying at the same time.

Meaghan Australia

location convenient to restaurants, shops, transportation. also liked the free bus pass.

Jim United States of America

The staff were very nice and friendly Specifically Phil. I asked so many questions and he answered all of them with patience and professional attitude. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. The breakfast was a big plus since we didn’t need to go look for a place to eat . The bus tickets ( public transportation) they provided for their guest was another plus.

Roya United States of America

Location was prime Staff was friendly and helpful
