Reviews
Since it's a newly opened hotel this year, everything looks very new and clean, and it was indeed very well cleaned. There's even hand sanitizer next to the elevator, which is reassuring, haha.
Driving to the airport the next morning only took about 20 minutes, very convenient. I recommend it for a short stay~

Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
After waiting for 30 minutes, nobody came up to me to ask how I was, or if I'd like a coffee or water. I left, without eating or drinking anything, to go to a place that valued my business.
The good news is they thanked me as I exited.
Great Venue, food was delicious aaaaaaaaaand a big shout out to Jeffery our Waiter, who went over and beyond to keep us satisfied. It has been incredibly entertaining to talk to you and thanks for keeping our Ice Teas refilled faster, than we were able to drink them.
5 Stars and more to be given.
