The views from the property are incredible. The breakfast is great. The other meals are great. Service is great too. Only two things I did not like: ONE: There was a very low wifi signal in the room and I would not recommend the hotel to anyone who needs to work and as cell phone signals at the property are low too. TWO: The bathroom exhaust did not fundtion. So the smell remained in the bathroom for a LONG time.

Hotel is nice and situated at a perfect location away from the hustle of mall road. View from the hotel is awesome. Rooms are clean and spacious and have a nice view from window. On the other side food was okayish and they took a lot of time to deliver it. Also parking is conjusted.
