Check-in was fast and smooth. My room was clean. The hotel offered complimentary Wi-Fi. Breakfast had many choices and the staff cleared tables quickly. I definitely enjoyed the delicious rib-eye steak through room service. It was cooked perfectly. This was among the best meals I had . The staff were also very polite.

strong sun faulty air conditioning
the staff was helpful in fixing the internet connection, and i appreciated that.
the sun shone very strongly into my room in the late afternoon i had to close the curtains. the air conditioning did not seem to work properly i felt unsure if it was on. i wish there were better instructions on what to do if an earthquake happened.
