From my first day of arriving, I have been blown away by the tremendous efforts of the staff here to ensure my comfort and happiness. They have been very accommodating and are always so friendly & smiling! The rooms (specifically studios) are beautiful, clean, and modern. My friends are always so impressed! Collecting post is simple, there is always access to vacuums, and having a keycard door lock (they provide a lanyard with both keycard and post keys) is such a nice touch.
