    spacious room
    rich breakfast
    welcoming staff
    family-friendly amenities

    I enjoyed the spacious room with a lovely view and a rich breakfast selection each morning. The staff was welcoming, which made our family trip even more enjoyable. We appreciated that they were accommodating to our two dogs, ensuring they felt at home too.

    For dads, it would be great if the pool area had more family-friendly features.

    fantastic breakfast
    central location
    moldy smell
    inattentive service

    The hotel had a fantastic breakfast buffet and a central location, making it convenient. However, there was a persistent moldy smell in the corridors that was quite off-putting. While the room was comfortable, the service was often inattentive, detracting from an otherwise good experience.

    great breakfast

    Perfect for Families with Children

    I took my mom here for her birthday , and the staff were good , always offering help. The breakfast was yummy , a large variety to choose from, and the room service was very clean and bigger than expected.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable.

    drinking water

    Unfortunately, there's a huge inconvenience with the inability to drink the tap water, which felt outdated, especially compared to other places in the area where this isn't an issue. Also, the room curtains don’t block out enough light, which may bother those who like a decent dark room for sleep. The Wi-Fi speed hovered around 9 Mbps at best, which can be frustrating for those needing a reliable connection.

    stunning views
    welcoming staff
    spacious room
    slow wi-fi
    unclean spots
    unwarm food

    The suite on the 31st floor offered stunning views of the city that I'd never forget. Breakfast impressed me with freshly baked items and a great selection. The staff greeted us warmly, adding to the welcoming ambiance. The room felt luxurious, spacious, and comfortable. However, the wi-fi connection was extremely slow, causing some frustration. Also, I found the bed a bit uncomfortable after a long day. Housekeeping could use some improvement. I noticed a few spots not thoroughly cleaned. The amenities were decent, but a better variety would enhance the stay. Room service took far too long, and when the food arrived, it wasn’t warm. The hotel was well-located near shopping and dining options, making it easy to explore the area. I really enjoyed my time but hope to see these improvements for future visits.
