“The hotel was GREAT! Clean and comfortable, awesome location, and of course the amazing Sophie and the rest of the staff! We stayed there for 2 weeks and they made us feel at home! Considering our long stay and the fact we came with a baby they gave us a larger room and they were just awesome! Definitely will be returning!”

, Slovakia

“The room was great! Main bedroom with king bed, huge living room with a comfy sofa bed for 2. Everything clean, it has a kitchenette in case you want to eat at the apartment, complementary coffee and in the lobby they have free greek yogurt and cereals, which were fresh and many flavors to choose from. Don't miss the roof top bar! Casual, nice views and the servers were very nice.”

, Spain

“The staff were wonderful! Nothing was too much trouble, and you felt they genuinely cared about you, unlike so many large hotel chains. It definitely felt like home from home. Our Junior Suite was great! Lots of space and very comfy. The dual aspect was a nice thing for extra light.”
