Nice place and really enjoyed our stay. Self-check in was fast and easy with no need to meet staff or collect keys. The two bed room apartment was very spacious and clean. The only negative was the bed sheets of the queen bed were bit dirty.

Hi Anil we appreciated your comments. Sometimes the sheets are marked when they come from the suppliers. We do ask that our cleaners don't use those sheets and we return them to the supplier for a refund. I will certainly follow up with our cleaners and your comment was helpful.
