Very nice hotel with excellent service. Great breakfast. Loved the pool area on the roof. The room was big and the bed comfortable. Only negative thing was that the aircondition was a bit noisy. I got used to it, my boyfriend had to use ear plugs.

This hotel was excellent! Grounds are clean and nicely decorated, and the room was always kept clean and was very spacious. The service was my favorite part, everyone was so kind and genuinely helpful and it felt like they cared about my stay. That always goes a long way. The pool and rooftops were great amenities. I was a solo female and always felt safe.
