"Delighted by the cleanliness & friendliness of this hotel! "
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The room was very large and was more of an apartment. The price was phenomenal for the service and environment we were provided. The front desk was very polite and educated. They made getting around the hotel and entire city very easy for us with maps and printouts of all information you need. Breakfast was beyond what I expected from a hotel. I am very delighted by the cleanliness and friendliness of this accommodation.

Testimonials:

Testimonials icon
"When people provide customer friendly service in today’s world, it should be applauded! So many businesses have taken almost and adversarial attitude towards the customer, in other words, they over compensate for a consumer not following through. As a business, it is my understanding, that the business should always follow through and do as they promise! Loyalty between consumers and businesses should remain alive, profit above service is a bad plan and will cost the business in the long run!" R.F. - Denver, CO
