This property is just as advertised. Very spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was sumptuous with a wide variety of options for different cultures. I love the fact that each room has a large refrigerator for storage microwave and a stove if you wish to cook for yourself. Staff was very friendly. I had a lot of questions initially and the front desk staff was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel

A little misleading
This hotel was fine for a one night stay but i wouldn't stay here for a vacation. There's nothing around in the way of shops or restaurants and bars.
