spacious room nice view excellent room service poor food small wardrobe
The room was spacious with a nice view. I liked that they had rose petals in a heart shape when I arrived. Room service was excellent and the room was very clean (they cleaned it every day).
The hotel is not easy to rate as a 5-star hotel. The quality of food was poor. The wardrobe size did not allow fitting the clothes for two people.
