Relaxing and the best place to stay !
Pros:

Its location and proximity to the airport. Yet, it was very quiet and calm. I especially liked the seating areas and also availability of books and TOYO device for our grandchild.

Cons:

I liked everything !

Pros:

Clean and spacious room. Modern design.

Cons:

My A/C unit was loud and I had to complain three days in a row to be offered an alternative room. Staff could have been more helpful. Additionally, the breakfast deal was not clear to the staff and we had to contact management through the app to get our vouchers.

Not a great experience and expensive
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Terrible elevators - it was a packed weekend and they only had 2/3 running and wouldn’t open up the stairwell. It made you never want to leave the room. The rooms were also dirty
