"Great place to stay! The staff are professional and yet f friendly. I feel safe and secured staying in thia hotel due to several features: secured elevetor that need access card, lock doors at nighr wirh security guard and 24/7 front desks. The toiletries are great! The shampoo and conditioner didnt make my hair frizzy - awesome. I was hesitant to use at first. Cleaning staff are amazing. I booked business and they clean my room and empty the trash and replaced, and replaces dirty towels everyday. This close is walking distance to almost everything.
