the parking was expensive. there were no tea bags in the room. i waited a long time at the bar to be served, but there was only one person working, so i didn't get served. i walked away and didn't bother having any food or a drink.

decent location! a few minor issues

queen size bed comfy bedding self service cooling system missing instructions bath towel

The room felt airy! it had plenty of space for two. the queen size bed was super comfy. The bedding felt really good. breakfast was self service, it had everything i could want! the location couldn't be better. Resorts world is just a few minutes away.

The room lacked written instructions! the heater and cooling system had no instructions either. i couldn't figure out how to cool the room. only two towels were provided. One small and one bath towel! i thought this was odd since two people were supposed to be in the room.
