    The room was very spacious, clean, and had everything I needed for a five day business trip. It was great to have the a/c running on heat, which made the place nice and warm. The location is also quite convenient, a stone's throw from the city...

    The property is overall great, quiet location but walking distance to city center. We would love to stay again but it was full during our second visit.
