What stood out ? The front desk staff - Matthew…. Hope I am spelling it right ! He has an excellent customer service skill. Absolutely outstanding . Warm, bubbly, informative, helpful. Actually I am speechless. We need more people with such attitude in today’s world . The rooms- they smell fresh when you enter, very clean , all amenities available , very comfortable . Our first night was a bit difficult . Turns out the hotel has thin walls . It was not at all their fault . It was next door guest just being too loud I think. But for second night we were moved to different room and even better one with balcony and an awesome view to wake up to . Thanks for the hospitality!
