I recently treated myself to a two night birthday stay at this hotel, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. I especially want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the receptionist, CC. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about her work. As a sweet birthday surprise, she even gave me a complimentary drink card, which made my stay feel extra special and thoughtful. The room was spotless, and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. Everything felt clean, calm, and well cared for. I felt relaxed and happy throughout my stay. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and truly appreciated the attentive service and welcoming atmosphere. It was the perfect birthday treat.
