10/10 Excellent
"After some mix up due to our flight being delayed, we were able to enjoy our stay immensely. Staff was very kind and accommodating. From the front desk to the restaurant staff and housekeeping. Our room was kept clean and if we needed anything the front desk was more than welcome to assist us. Definitely recommend for your future stay! "
