very nice staffspacious roomclean roomextra touches
The staff were genuinely very nice, always going above and beyond to. i really appreciated the delicious lunch i had on saturday. I am still dreaming about that korean beef dish. the rooms are amazing. They are very big, spacious and impeccably clean (i was so impressed!). i also loved the extra touches like the plush robes and slippers. They added a touch of luxury.
the phone in my room wasn't working, so i had to go to reception for everything (it was only a minor inconvenience, though!).
