My room was quiet, lean and very convenient. The location seemed to be centrally located and I was near all of the right places which was tine saving. The shower and resrroom was very clean and there. Was no loud noise around me so I was able to get good rest. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Great job. 👍
