charming stay in a premier king
comfy bed rainfall shower
i was charmed by the very comfy bed. the bathroom featured a rainfall shower (it was so relaxing). the staff handled check-in smoothly. the restaurant offered great dining options.
the hotel lacked air conditioning. this made the room very warm during the afternoon. i wish there was better climate control.

leaking shower small portion
The shower leaked, and the bathroom floor flooded. I contacted the front desk. Maintenance NEVER showed. I got tired of moping up the floor after EVERY shower and stopped using it. The restaurant food is excellent. The portion size is very small, though, and the price is outrageous.
