The front desk staff was nothing like what the descriptions suggested—despite our late arrival, the gentleman was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely approachable with a warm smile. I rarely leave reviews, but this time I felt compelled to share my experience. If you're hesitating due to the mixed feedback online, don’t be—this place is absolutely worth staying at.
