the room had a river view. large beds were available. the water bottles were free and refilled every day (i found this very convenient). the swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna were highlights.

i noticed that some staff members seemed not trained to the level of customer service that i expected. reception staff seemed more interested in selling add-ons. the bar seemed short-staffed and chaotic. there seemed to be a lack of direction among the staff.

The room included air conditioning, SO important! The staff was professional and helpful throughout the hotel. I found this to be true from reception to the cleaning staff. Dinner was excellent.

The pillows were not up to the usual standard. This REALLY bothered me. We had to walk up and down the stairs. I wasn't advised of this issue at checking, and it remained unresolved when I checked out.
