The hotel is immaculately clean, has efficient staff, and offers nice-sized rooms with high ceilings. the location is unbelievably good, with public parking nearby and it is situated in a shopping area. It is also conveniently located just 700 ft from Stesicoro station. My stay was very enjoyable, without any complaints.
