I am so grateful for the perfect service I received. The breakfast buffet presented many varieties, and everything tasted fresh. I want to thank Warishah specifically. She was friendly. Erhan also deserves recognition for his hospitality at breakfast each day.
The gym was slightly smaller than I expected, but it still had enough equipment for a complete workout.
