The check-in was friendly and swift. The room was very comfortable and a good size, as were the beds. The bathroom was also roomy and modern. All of the staff were very pleasant especially in the restaurant. We used room service only once and the service was very prompt. Extremely pleasant receptionist at check-out time.
