The room was spacious. It had a comfortable bed and a large bathroom. I noted two separate sinks and a rainfall shower in the bathroom. The hotel offered a great breakfast. It included a wide variety of hot and cold options. The staff were helpful. They gave quick responses to any request I had.
I did find the rooftop pool area to be a bit small given the size of the hotel.
