reasonable stay overall

landscapingmodern roomgreat nightlimited breakfasthalal option
i found the grounds were wonderfully maintained. the landscaping was excellent and beautiful. the rooms were spacious and modern! the beds offered a GREAT night's sleep.
the breakfast selection WAS limited and repetitive. there were not many halal options, disappointing. THE buffet lacked variety and felt basic! omelettes required an extra charge, which i thought was unreasonable.
