This hotel felt more like mini apartments. Free parking was available and close to the entrance, a real plus. The staff members were both friendly and polite. I found my room to be quiet, especially considering the hotel's proximity to a main road.

The external door to my building had a broken card reader. This raised security concerns, as anyone could wander the corridors freely. The management needs to fix this as soon as possible.
