The team provided a warm welcome. They ensured the room was always clean. The crew's service was friendly. It seemed like home. From the entrance to the front desk, everyone smiles and tries to assist you at all times. I found the staff helpful and attentive. Raimon was especially helpful with our luggage (he is a real asset). He also assisted us into a taxi.

The gym had limited equipment. Only three treadmills and two stationary bikes.
