"Reception service was nice. Lobby and restaurant had lovely aesthetics. Room was modern and clean. Restaurant service was unorganized and slow. Food menu was decent though. Pool area was inviting but definitely need to change their pool chairs. The material makes them look super dirty. Yuk."

"We decided to extend our stay at the last minute and needed a hotel. So glad this one was available for my family of 4.

We can’t wait to come back!"
