This hotel was great in many areas. I was given an upgrade to a beautiful room upon arrival, which I greatly appreciated. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of selections, including both hot and cold items. The rooftop plunge pool was a relaxing oasis.. I enjoyed the bar service there in the evenings. The hotel's location offered convenient access to nearby attractions and shopping areas.

The lighting in the room was not especially bright, slightly difficult to see into the wardrobe.

The staff members were nice. They addressed all our needs. The hotel also offered complimentary popcorn and bottled water in the foyer. I found these touches to be a lovely addition. The housekeeping kept our rooms clean each day.

The room I occupied was not well-designed. I found the lighting in the room poor. The mini-bar was also empty. I did expect a stocked bar.
