Don’t feel like saying much. Lacks hospitality big time, terrible attitude and zero effort of putting 2 rooms on same floor or next to each other when it’s a family, despite booking 4.5 to 5 months in advance.

The hotel was extremely clean, staff were very nice except the room was SO hot. You could not adjust the temperature, only the speed of the fan. My husband and I woke up each night sweating and the bathroom was extremely small. A part from that, it was an amazing hotel. Just a little disappointing how hot the room was.
