The hotel room was spacious and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. the quality of items provided was really good. I especially liked the coffee and teas in the room. it made mornings very pleasant.

breakfast wasn't the best i've had. the quality of ingredients could be improved. the hotel location isn't ideal because it requires a minimum of 30 minutes to get to most places

the bedding was gorgeous.

the room is small. there is no space to walk. it becomes even more difficult when one has an extra bed in the room. they SHOULD give a bigger room to people coming with family.
