"The only downside to the hotel is that there is a similarly named hotel in the building next to it so we got lost trying to check in (and saw others do the same during the same). The hotel itself is clean, modern, and comfy. We got a room with a balcony which was a great choice with a great view, though you have to be careful because the crows are massive! Anything that we needed, the staff helped us out. The cleaning staff, too, were also very attentive. Rooms are a bit on the smaller side if you've got big luggage, but I think you can see that from the pictures. The room itself is comfy, the bathroom is spacious and updated. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again."
