“Great friendly staff who went out of their way to help me for my 4 week stay.”
Good location to the office I was working at. The breakfast was ample and there was a good variety of food. I never left for the day feeling hungry. Some good local restaurnats nearby but the hotel restaurant was where I ate most nights. I was only planning to stay for a few days as I didnt know about other travel and work arrangements. Then I was made to feel very comfortable by the friendly staff led by Rita and Ellen. As their motto says, it feels like home and that is how I felt. A very welcoming experience from all staff, including the security staff at the door. I felt like I was amongst friends. The room was bright with a lot of natural light and a good desk, which made it a good location from which to work. So I ended up staying an entire month. I will be back next year.
