Our room was in dire need of refurbishment although the view was great. Very few staff had enough English to understand requests for information. Very few restauraunts could be found nearby but the hotel breakfast buffet was really good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property and staff were wonderful. The cost of dinning in the rooftop restaurants were very overpriced for the quality. Everything seemed to be pre-plated and nothing stood out as great for $140 per person. The hotel lacked excitement as well with mostly 60yr old people. Great place if you are 60 :)
