The staff really went the extra mile. I appreciated their friendliness and professionalism. They made the stay very enjoyable. The amenities were good but not spectacular in any way. Small fitness room and pool. There’s also a sauna and stem room. All the facilities are kept very clean. I was very unhappy with the first room I got which was very small and dark. I didn’t mention it to the staff but I did mention it in my check in review. They upgraded me to a better room, which I really appreciated. It’s a pretty central location and very walkable.
