I have stayed at this hotel a number of times. I love the size of the room, the amenities, and the shower and bathroom setup. The staff always performs well when I'm ordering room service or just requesting bottled water. I also love the sports bar and restaurants they have in the hotel. The TV system is very nice because you can order right from the TV remote and food is on the way. The gym is nice with plenty of equipment. I will stay here again.

Hasan

Liked: Staff & service
Unfortunately, the room had an unpleasant smell, which affected the overall comfort. I also requested a late check-out, but this was not accepted due to cleaning schedule limitations, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the breakfast was good. However, based on this experience, I will probably not visit again.
