The hotel is very large and cold. The room has no amenities like coffee or body lotion. There is no where in the bathroom to hang a towel and the sink area is too dark to put on makeup. “ Bland” is the term I’d use to describe the hotel.

Highly recommended!! I think the hotel marketing team didnt describe all the lovely things to surprise the guests. Once we checked in, my kids were jumping around the room. We loved the kids items in the room, a huge digital art wall, a kids’ portable audio for bedtime story, a massage chair and a king sized sealy matress and comfortable bedding. We would definitely come back to the room when it is not too busy season. We stayed New year’s day so the waiting time for Check in and elevator wasnt pleasure.
