Amazing hospitality from the team. Texted me one day prior and explained regarding the location of the hotel and throughout my stay constantly texted and made sure I am comfortable. Super affordable room. I give 4 star for the rooms. They have all the amenities and doesn't seem like a budget hotel. Very comfortable. Strategic location, easy to walk around.
