Rajiv and, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel staff was amazing. The food was good at the restaurant and the breakfast. The room AC barely worked. The front desk had to bring us an additional fan. The fire alarm went off around 12am. So convenient to be so close to the train station.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a new property, everything is pretty, exactly like the pictures online. The location is perfect because it’s exactly at the train station, so it’s very convenient. The breakfast buffet was very good, with a lot of variety. The staff was friendly and eager to help with anything we needed. It was a great find and I definitely recommend this hotel.
