What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Impressive Gym!

The gym at this hotel was a game changer for me. With a vast array of machines, including multiple treadmills and stationary bikes, plus a basketball court, I was able to maintain my fitness routine effortlessly. The space felt more like a sports complex than a hotel gym, and I loved having the option of a basketball game after my workout. It truly exceeded my expectations!

Refreshing Pool Escape

I thoroughly enjoyed the pool area, which was a perfect blend of relaxation and fun. The water was just the right temperature, and the layout allowed for both leisurely swims and exercise laps. It was one of the best spots to unwind after a day of exploring the city, and the view from there was simply stunning.

Exquisite Dining Experience

Dining at the hotel's restaurant was a good experience! I ordered the local-inspired dish, and it was bursting with flavor. They also had a breakfast buffet with an omelet station that was a highlight of my mornings. Each dish I tried showcased the fresh ingredients perfectly, making every meal nice.

The parking experience was smooth and hassle-free. I opted for the valet service, which made it incredibly easy to come and go without any stress. I appreciated how they took care of my car and the quick service when I needed it again. It made my stay much more enjoyable not having to worry about parking!

9.0/10

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, marked by exceptional customer service and a beautiful, modern atmosphere. The rooms were exceptionally spacious and clean, offering one of the best bathrooms I've seen in a while. The only downside was a surprising find of an empty personal item in the room, which was unfortunate. Overall, it was a great value for the level of comfort and amenities provided.

Rooms

I found the dining options a bit basic, which might not align with my expectations for such a luxurious setting.
