This is my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at! The staff was incredibly kind, the room was beautiful, and the breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I was initially unsure if the breakfast would be worth the price, but it definitely was! Gorgeous display, a huge variety of choices and different types of cuisines (Korean, American, Chinese, French…) I would definitely stay here again!

I was informed upon check-in that nearly every amenity (gym, pool, etc) was closed. The lobby feels “grand,” but the rooms will look and feel outmoded to anyone who has stayed in a hotel since 1990. The rooms feel especially old-fashioned. Water dripped from the ceiling of my room, leaving a wet spot on the carpet below. Good breakfast.

The staff could not be less helpful. They did not respond to any emails about my arrival before check in time and when I arrived wouldn’t even allow me to use the change room to freshen up with out needing to speak to the manager and argue for 15 mins .
