9.4/10 Exceptional! (614 reviews)
Was very satisfied with our stay, the staff were very friendly and the hotel was overall very clean with beautiful decor. The only issue we really had was the air unit in our room was very loud and we had to turn it completely off during the night, but other than that we were pretty satisfied with everything. We dined at the restaurant located inside the hotel and the food was delicious. I wish we were staying more than one night, but my family and I will definitely stay again and for more than one night.
