This was a pleasant hotel. It wasn’t fancy, but it met my needs. The staff were pleasant. The price was reasonable. The bed was a little over firm. The daily breakfast buffet was decent. There was fresh fruit, and an omelette station.

I had one of the worst experience with the staff of this hotel. I would highly cation considering staying in hotel. Upon my family arrival, the hotel staff had me wait over 2 hours with keep saying that the room will be ready in next half an hour but with every half hour, they keep extending. Finally upon checking in, they took my passport information and said it was enough and my family information is not necessary. During my stay, one night at 12am, I received a call from reception very rudely asking with whom I am sharing my room. I told them with my wife. The person tone was extremely rude and demanded that I bring her passport to the reception right away. I told her that I will bring in the morning and hang up. The manager called yelling why don't I bring the passport right away. I told him too, it is midnight and I am very tired. I will bring next morning. He showed up with 4 security guys on the door demanding the information. They do not seems to have any regards for their guest. It seems they have camera in the room and watching their guests otherwise how would they know who in the room with me. They even have a hole in the safe so they can see what guests are placing in the safe. The breakfast items were stale too. Once again, I would caution everyone to choose this hotel. They are watching you in the privacy of your rooms.

All that glitters isn’t gold!

Helpful staff, accommodated a late check in which was appreciated. I had informed hotel ahead of this. Stayed in the ambassador suite. Looks amazing in pictures. In reality - it’s tired, old and dirty. Carpet terribly stained, shower leaked so bad that it flooded the bathroom. Bed was uncomfortable. Pool area on roof, small and would get busy if one family used it! And despite being pictured, no fruit in fruit bowl - just an empty bowl on arrival. In its day the room would have been superb, but that day has long gone. Breakfast was middle range, and would be tiresome if staying for more than 1 night.
