“The staff were absolutely amazing. Understanding when our flight was delayed and we arrived late. The room was comfortable, clean, and the AC worked well. Surprised to find some breakfast items for guests. Convenient, close to the train station. Can't thank Dominico enough for helping when my husband got lost—he spent a long time on calls helping me find him. Their kindness made our stay special.”
