We stayed just for a couple of days to get away. The room was a little outdated but clean and nice. We loved the pool although it was a bit crowded. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Never got a chance to dine, but we did enjoy some delicious room service. We will probably stay again in tbe future.

Roach hotel

Woke up to use the restroom in the middle of the night to find a cockroach in the bathroom. Thought it was gross and weird because I was on the 8th floor…but then realized their steakhouse is on the 9th floor. So glad I didn’t eat on site. Left as soon as I could in the morning 😭
