Good Hotel

Check in was seamless. Our room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was amazing and we had options to select from. The only downside to it was the toilet in the room we had wasn’t flushing properly. We complained about it and we got moved to another room which was really impressive. Overall it’s a 9/10 for the amount we paid.
