I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, with easy access to all forms of transportation for exploring the surrounding areas. The hotel staff, including the management, were extremely helpful and friendly. I felt safe in the neighborhood, and there were shops nearby where I could get groceries and food. The room was spacious and had overall nice furnishings. The highlight for me was the jacuzzi tub, even though it wasn't fully functional. Additionally, the ample and free parking was a great convenience. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The cleanliness was top-notch, with spacious and clean rooms. The hotel facilities were great, including a king size bed and a big tub. The location was perfect, just a 10-minute walk to the SAP Center. The staff, especially the front desk agent Lino, were kind and helpful. We also loved that it was at a reasonable price.
