My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were super clean with an evening turn-down service, but having only one king bed meant paying extra for an additional bed, making it necessary for three people to share. The regular system used for other rooms made it very loud at times.

Rooms

I found the rooms to be super clean and the evening turn-down service was a nice touch. However, having only one king bed and needing to pay extra for an additional bed made sleeping arrangements inconvenient. The noise levels from the regular system used in other rooms were sometimes bothersome.

The dining experience was a bit varied. While the breakfast spread was vast and impressive with various sections, the quality seemed below a 5-star standard. Some areas looked unclean, unlike the pictures. However, the freshly prepared dishes were a highlight.
