Great stay with my kids! Our flight arrived early, and even though check-in wasn’t until 4 PM, the front desk was able to accommodate us with early check-in, which we really appreciated. The room and hotel were clean and well maintained. We also used the luggage storage service for a small fee after checkout since our flight wasn’t until later that evening, which was very convenient. The only downside was some additional fees that we weren’t aware of ahead of time. Overall, a pleasant stay and would recommend.
