The breakfast was scrumptious. It offered so many fresh choices, and sparkling wine was even available! the staff were very friendly, and the hotel was very clean. i really appreciated the high standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel!
my room however did not fully reflect a 5-star experience. the room furniture and bathrooms seemed a bit old, showing some wear and tear. i think there are better rooms available.
