Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and downtown watering holes, offering a cozy and homely feel. The friendly and attentive service enhances the overall experience. However, the dining options were just satisfactory, lacking variety. The access to the Jet Express and the good view are definite highlights.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room was exactly as shown in the photos, and the bed was comfortable, but I must say it was quite small compared to other places I've been. The service was excellent; they even moved us right away and took care of our luggage. The location couldn't have been better, centrally located with various amenities nearby. The dining was a bit of a letdown, but the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel's location is fantastic, within walking distance of downtown where you can find plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. The rooms, although smaller, offer a beautiful view to the West and feature a fridge large enough for snacks. The service, particularly from Gabby in the restaurant, was great despite some issues such as loud music at night and confusion during a morning alarm. The to-go coffee cups were a bit disappointing, being on the smaller side, but overall, the hotel's location makes it a superb choice.
