Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had everything I needed, but I encountered stained carpets, white stained furniture, and a broken mirror in the closet. The second room even had milk left in the refrigerator. However, the room itself was huge with a kitchenette, jacuzzi, large living room area, and a king bed.

Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel has beautiful rooms, but some issues like stained carpets, white stained furniture, and a broken mirror in the closet were noticeable. However, the decoration was really nice overall, and I have to say the second room I was given was the best I've stayed in. On the downside, there was milk still in the refrigerator from a previous guest.
