A Pleasant Stay!

quality foodgreat presentationhelpful staffmissing trash bag
The breakfast had quality food and nice presentation! The staff always helped with little requests like adjusting the shower temperature. Also the hotel provided a Gideon's Bible in the room. It was a real blessing since I forgot my own, and I appreciate the hotel offering this.
The bus stop was about a five-minute walk from the hotel. I think the hotel should put new trash bags in the bins after taking the old ones. there was no phone in my room. I had to walk to reception for all my requests.

The bus stop is super close. Only a few minutes away, so getting around was simple! Shops and restaurants are also nearby, with a lot of convenience. I was able to leave my bags early, which really helped me explore without lugging everything around. The staff was very cute. Their helpfulness.
