Was a nice and comfortable stay. The bathrooms unique and stylish. The bed was just firm enough with aome squishiness for a great night sleep. There is also a 24hr emart located in the lobby, which was a suprise. A shame there is no offer for complementary breakfast with the reservation of their more expensive rooms. Just free pool access. Other than that, everything was great!
