clean pool spacious suite
The pool was clean and well-kept! I enjoyed the spaciousness of the suite premium level lounge access. The staff was attentive and always ready to help. The hotel arranged taxis quickly.
The gym equipment seemed a little dated.

efficient shuttle ample towels streaming services slow check early closure malfunctioning thermostat
The shuttle to the airport was punctual and efficient. The room was supplied with ample towels including a bath mat. The television connected to streaming services without issue. I watched several movies.
The check in process was slow there was a considerable wait. The pool area closed early at 5 pm which was disappointing I was unable to use it. The thermostat in my room did not seem to function properly the temperature was not consistent.

I appreciated the free airport shuttle. It made my arrival smooth. the breakfast was good with many options. the staff were helpful, especially with directions.
the pool closed quite early at 5 pm, disappointing as i wanted to relax after a day of travel. the bathroom cleanliness was not up to standard, and i had to request housekeeping to come again. the tv remote did not connect to streaming services, limiting entertainment options.
