10/10 Excellent
"Really enjoyed my stay. The check-in process was a bit of a challenge. Used the kiosk which worked & gave me my keys, but there was no information about the hotel, property, or amenities given. Had to go down to front desk later that night as my phone was not operational in the room. Other than that, really beautiful facility with everything you need."
