The hotel location impressed me it was very central. The staff allowed us to keep luggage after checkout until our bus came. The beautiful back patio felt relaxing with a forest vibe I found it wonderful. The staff was among the friendliest I have ever seen.

The room was quite hot. I could not adjust the air conditioning to my preference so it impacted my sleep slightly
