great hotel experience
toilet separation complete toiletries great cleaning amazing experience
the hotel was cleaned very well. I liked the toilet is separated from the bathroom so we used both at the same time. I liked that if we don't request housekeeping, they gave us new sets of complete toiletries and left them by the door. I love EVERYTHING.
my room had no GOOD view, ZERO wardrobe to unpack the suitcase either.
