Well appointed room but a bit dates but that could be because they wanted to stay with the Chinese styled theme. Beautiful garden and scenic area for photos and check in if that's what you're into.

It was so nice and service was amazing. Only complaint was that the room lighting was very dim. Hard to get good lighting in front of the mirrors and sometimes hard to see when I needed to do work
