Disliked: Staff & service
Didn’t clean our room even after asking them numerous times. The ice bucket had black mold in it.
The view from the room was amazing, the staff was friendly, and the hotel restaurant was top notch. The only problem was the door lock kept coming off in the room. Other than that it was a great stay.
Great location with close walks to most of the core tourist areas and restaurants to explore. The hotel had great staff and it was comfortable and stylish.
The indoor pool was just a lap pool with two lanes, and the jacuzzi was a bit too foamy for my taste but others seemed to enjoy it. The bonuses were an outstanding fitness center, basket ball court (half), and game room with pool table and card table. Nice bonuses there. I would come back to this location.
What a great place to stay! Fantastic location, great services, the hotel restaurant was wonderful and I appreciated them being open all day.

The only thing good about the hotel was Hassam he was absolutely amazing! He went out of his way to take care of us because no one else would! We called 5 times asking for towels so we could shower it took 4 hours to get them. The room wasn't very clean and the food was horrible and overpriced. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone especially if you have small children. You would think with the amount this hotel charges per night it would be a nice hotel but im very disappointed.
