10/10 Excellent
"So originally I had booked a birthday request too late for my woman. However , the amazing staff secretly added it , so to my surprise it was there in the room with a cake. I was in shock to the level of detail the staff did for me there. The breakfast was so high quality, and the fruits in the room were so good. The room was so spacious , the bathroom was best I’ve ever seen. Every design of this hotel from the many fast elevators , to the scents , to the pillows was why this is a five star place."
