- YaniqueUnited States“The breakfast options were standard. Wish they had more options each day. They only switched out ground provisions for lo mein and vegetable rice after two days. The breakfast was pretty bland compared to the other food available at the property”
- JohnUnited Kingdom“Beautiful setting, with extremely helpful staff and amazing see views from room.”
