I found the staff to be cute and professional. The bedroom was spacious and well-appointed. Breakfast service presented various options I found quite good. The bus stop right outside the hotel offered convenient access to various attractions.

Underwhelming stay. Not a 5-star experience

basic roomtiny tv
i really hate to complain, but this place ain't what it says it is. the rooms design was pretty basic. its was a huge room but there was like no design work at all. this. plus, there wasnt basic things in my room like a toilet brush, and the tv was tiny. the whole thing just felt cheap and not what i expect in a so called luxury hotel.
