5 star hotel! The place is huge you can have everything inside the hotel name it. The room is big and clean a lots to see whenever you walk left right straight it’s just perfect. it’s hard to book the room exact date that I want but I’m lucky enough to get one though it’s not the date that I really want but only one night ahead so still good. My family and I we had so much fun staying the hotel.

The experience was great. The only problem is the staff that seems now accommodating. But everything you need is in the hotel already. There’s even a convenience store inside. This place is perfect is you just want to chill.
