10/10 Excellent
"Perfect for those traveling solo on business trips or for consulate interviews. The staff are very helpful. Juliana was there during my stay, and she was amazing helping me and my husband printing a lot of paperwork we needed for our consulate interview! We did everything by foot. 10min from the airport, mall and 8min from consulate. All walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel."
