Beautiful hotel with excellent staff. Fit our needs perfectly for a quick stay before our departure back home, and the bed was very comfy. Shared bathroom was very clean, and so was the common area. The highlight was the gentleman who checked us in an provided our airport shuttle to us very early in the morning. He went above and beyond accommodating us and we appreciate it so much.

My flight was delayed, and I arrived very late at night, around 2:30 a.m. Kenneth waited for me and made sure everything was ready. In the morning, he gave me great tips about transportation and the area. Excellent service and a warm welcome. Highly recommend!

Close to the airport and a mall this nice and cozy apartment is perfect to begin the journey, either for a single traveler as me or a family. Easy to reach, in a very QUITE area, a variety of chilling areas in the huge living room, very clean, sockets every where, comfortable bed, and, last but not least, super positive vibe from the host with an excellent customer service and attention to details. What else can you wish for? Sure I'll go there again. It was a pleasure to stay. VERY RECOMMENDED

Location was good, close to airport- a cheap Uber ride for less than $4 to the airport was helpful. The late overnight staff member (after 10pm) was nice and friendly, as were the morning female staff members... this was in stark contrast to the guy who checked us in on arrival. The staff at the parking lot a block away were friendly and easy going. The balcony was cute and you can see the mountains in the distance.

hostess was amazing. she went above and beyond in helping me with many heavy pieces of luggage as I am disabled with back injuries. she prepared food to my preference (vegan) and offered to cook more. the room was adequate, quiet and clean. the bathroom was spotless, the shower had good water pressure and was hot. the location is great to get to the airport and the price is very affordable.
