I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, with spacious and comfortable rooms that were available a bit later than the check-in time. The service was top-notch, going out of their way to decorate the room with rose petal heart shapes and complimentary drinks. The location was amazing, near the mall and other places of interest. The dining experience could be improved, as the food was a bit undercooked. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor issues.
