The property is very well located, with access to restaurants & close to the mall. The staff is awesome, very friendly and always willing to help! Since it's in the main road, it could get noisy at times due to the traffic.

One of the only large hotels to stay in this area. Unfortunately it’s on a very busy road and traffic is heard 24/7. We enjoyed the Dinning a the staff was very helpful and nice. Parking felt secure as they allowed us to park within the alcove which had a gate and foot security. We stayed here for convenience but did not sleep well at all.

Very good place for a stopover while traveling. Rooms are spacious and clean, including AC and fridge. The staff is freindly and helpful and the included breakfast is freshly made and good as well. Secure parking is free of charge and possible in the inner courtyard, which is locked with a massive gate during the night and watched by a security guard during the day.
