"Breakfast is worth the money. Room is considerably spacious and clean. Pillow and bed are comfortable. Location is good too. Only issue is there are hundreds of rooms and it can get extremely crowded during breakfast hours and usage of lift."

"AMENITIES! We wanted a relaxing overnight before our long haul flight back to the U.S. and that is exactly what we got. The room was huge, and the fitness wellness center is worth every penny spent! My teen kids loved the hotel and wish we had a longer stay. The location is convenient to shopping and eateries."
