What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy & Convenient

I love this hotel. I like that you don’t have to formally check in; I was super exhausted when I arrived and having the key code for the room was ultra convenient. The room was cozy and comfortable; it had everything I needed for a great night’s sleep. Bed was perfect… I will definitely stay here again!

Clean & Functional

The bathroom was nice and clean with very hot water and good water pressure. It offered local shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, which I really appreciated. After a long day of exploring, a refreshing shower was just what I needed!
