Hotel shows some age. Clientele is varied and had the feel of a cruise ship, lots of North Americans and lots of alcohol consumption. Room had some stains on walls. Buffett breakfast is good. Pool is nice, but rather small for the hotel size, and got very crowded in the afternoon. Many excellent restaurants in the area.

The breakfast was excellent. There was so many options, and it was amazing. There was always plenty of staff around to help. We called about the AC in the room and someone quickly arrived. There’s a good 24 hour cafe within the hotel. The hotel uses a room key for the elevator for security. The location was convenient to getting to other sites. We would recommend this hotel to others.
