8.4/10 Very Good! (23 reviews)

Beautiful rooms and communal areas. The lobby and courtyard are beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. AC/heater was easy to use, as well as the spa bath. Really happy with our stay here, was well worth the value for money and would recommended staying here again.
