What our guests are saying

Awesome hotel with top-notch service!
Alexis and Gary at the front desk were very quick in checking in all 14 of us, and one even got a free upgrade to a suite!

We got a highly detailed explanation of the amenities available (free snacks in the room!) and a good recommendation of the restaurant on the hotel's first floor (do try the pan-seared salmon!)
