I expected more from this hotel but was restricted from using the hotel amenities, such as the pool and spa. If you are a pregnant woman looking for a relaxing time, I recommend you do not stay here as you will not be allowed to use the pool or receive any spa treatment- not even a simple head or foot massage. I was looking forward to using the hotel amenities and feel it was money wasted that I was only able to try the restaurants, which I could have tried without staying here. The room was clean with a bathtub, I had to stay in my room majority of the time. The staff are not flexible in serving their guests and should better learn how to improve the guest experience.

Property is nice and its location is strategic. But the customer service is the worst i have ever seen. I arrived the hotel at about 8AM after a 14 hour flight, hoping I'd check in an catch some sleep before a meeting that afternoon. Unfortunately I was told I had to wait till 10.30 Am. I was told the room was ready but policy stated that check in had to be after 10 or I had to pay a half day rate. I could'nt wit due to tiredness so I was charged. When I inquired about breakfast, I was told breakfast for me was only available the next day because I was technically supposed to check in after breakfast was over. When I was charged a late departure fee because My flight was delayed and I had to stay longer. I will never again visit the property.

It's close to the airport, so convenient, but the rooms need an upgrade. The tub in the bathroom leaked all over the floor, and the restaurants are OK. At least there is a variety. The rooms are comfortable, and soundproof, which is nice. Check in takes forever, and the internet code they give you does not work. So OK, but people choose for the convenience to get to the airport.
