"Despite being a slightly smaller hotel (I mean still big but some are just massive), it was very clean and the amenities were more than comfortable and very pleasant. The bed was comfy, and everything was clean. The buffet breakfast was really great and excelled in comparison to other hotels we stayed at recently. The room service was also excellent and our meals were delicious and hot. The reception staff were pleasant and helpful, and even allowed us to extend our check out (costed) so we could keep the room until later in the day, closer to when we flew out (which helped with having a young family)."
