the location was great, right near everything i wanted to see. i liked that my room was really clean and the bed felt so comfy. i could walk to all major attractions quite easily and there was always someone available to assist with directions. the room had a nice view to the near garden, this was good.
the gym was not that good, it only had few equipment. i saw there were some charges added to my bill at the end, and i did not know what these charges were for. i wish there could have been better signage directing guests to the pool and spa facilities. the elevator could be faster, sometimes i have to wait too long.
