My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms are laid out really well with a king-size bed and a separate sitting area, making it feel more like an apartment. Everything was very clean. However, the old, musty-smelling rug in the room was a downside. The service was outstanding; the staff was always available for questions, suggestions, and directions. The location was perfect, close to everything and beautifully lit at night. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of options for breakfast. The pool area was a lovely spot to relax. Overall, great value for money.
