Very clean and mostly quiet. Room service can improve. When I requested, instead of coming they asked me to extend my stay although I was already staying another night.

We unfortunately didn’t get the room booked but a big shout out to Laith who went above and beyond to find us a different suitable room and offered us complimentary dinner and wine to compensate us for difference. We appreciated him doing his best to make our stay enjoyable. ...
