A huge thank you to Kamal for an amazing stay! The room was clean, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the daily free breakfast was a great perk. The gym facilities were also top-notch. The highlight, however, was Kamal's service. She has a warm smile and a real talent for making you feel welcome. She truly impressed me by seamlessly upgrading my room from a standard king to a suite, which made my trip so much more comfortable. It's employees like Kamal who make you want to return. The management is very lucky to have her! 😊
