Very impressed with the overall of the room, very clean, comfortable and very modern. Very good location to stay if going to the Rainbow Ryders. The proximity is incredible, only 5 mins walk.Traveled to enjoy a night before my activity in the hot air balloon. The international breakfast was very good with many choices. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

Pretty decent stay overall. Couple glitches, the key cards would go out when kept near anything with a battery or electricity. Two key-cards had to be reset multiple times in four days. Two different occasions the counter-help was nowhere to be found.

Needs upgrades
The elevators were broken the nights we stayed it never got fixed. The cleanliness of the room was not great and we called but the front desk never answered. We asked for extra towels and were only given one set. The breakfast was very minimal and not much quantity.
