The breakfast was excellent. There was so many options, and it was amazing. There was always plenty of staff around to help. We called about the AC in the room and someone quickly arrived. There’s a good 24 hour cafe within the hotel. The hotel uses a room key for the elevator for security. The location was convenient to getting to other sites. We would recommend this hotel to others.

Only reason I didn’t give it stars across the board? No hot water in the showers. Strange because the sinks had very hot water and I don’t mind telling you that’s where I washed my hair/sponge bath. I was in the penthouse too!
