I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone that will listen, they are beyond accommodating and even went out of their way to make sure I had a pleasant experience despite the outside temperatures.

Want a quality shower? Stay here.
The best shower I have experienced in a long time. The shower pressure is intense and could probably wash away all your problems. The hotel is modern, clean and very comfortable.
