Clean, well organised and the team members were all friendly and helpful. Very conscious about cleanliness where I saw they sanitised the check in counters the moment a customer has left.

The hotel was full on our weekend stay. Hence, the environment wasn't as peaceful. The toilet has smudges due to rushing maybe. But overall still a great place to stay during better times
