They actually checked us into a room that was not cleaned and occupied at first! Very frustrating until they gave us the next room. Overall, the room was way bigger than expected and quite comfortable. Will consider staying again in the future.

8.2/10 Very Good! (98 reviews)

The hotel room was beautiful and hotel interior was nice. The area around the hotel was a bit dirty. The drying machine takes too long to dry clothes.
