the breakfast buffet had such variety! the food was yummy too. the rooms were totally amazing. the hotel restaurant's lunch and dinner menu was also super affordable!!
Check-in wasn't smooth, so irritating! they didn't give my sister keys since the room was booked under my name. this was even though the reservation was paid for. Kitchen staff was lovely but i thought the front desk were not as friendly.
