“I had a great stay here. The staff were super friendly and helpful, even when I arrived late at night. The room was spotless and had everything I needed. Location was handy, with good places to eat and get coffee nearby. I really appreciated them making popcorn for my movie night. I'd recommend it to any solo traveller.”

We even got upgraded to a room overlooking the garden. They let us store our bags and use the facilities before we left. The service and amenities were excellent.”
