cramped showerhard heating
The room felt a bit small. the shower was particularly cramped, and the door didn't close properly. the heating was also hard to regulate. It was either too hot or not warm enough, no matter what i tried. i found it difficult to get comfortable at night.

Really good Hotel Experience!

large selectionhelpful staffineffective strip
The breakfast buffet offered a very large selection of foods, and items were restocked regularly. The rooftop pool area was fantastic. It was wonderful. Staff members were always cute and very attentive. The hotel provided helpful information packs including historical details.
The room air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool enough. The magnetic door closing strip on the shower was ineffective, resulting in water leaking onto the floor. I also experienced an occasion when there was no hot water in the morning.
