The Amberlyn Suite Hotel
Clean rooms, Front desk staff very courteous and helpful. Outstanding front desk employees where most of the time, my decision to go back to a hotel depends on how the employees made me feel.

it was nice stay, big room, the only thing that lacking was the staff who checked us in, I forgot the name but he was rushing us and at the end he could not check us in, because the room was not ready!

Location good. Room clean and bed comfortable. Would have liked a kettle and small fridge in room. Nowhere to hang towels and changed daily but not eco friendly doing this.
