I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by the staff, especially GM Cameron, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The facilities are impressive—they're modern, new, and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was definitely a highlight with a wide variety of options to choose from. However, I wish the check-out process had been a bit more straightforward.

The facilities were modern and spotless, which made me feel very comfortable. The breakfast was a definite highlight with a wide variety of options.
