inattentive staff stained carpets
The service in the restaurant seemed subpar. i observed delays in clearing tables after guest finished, and the staff were not attentive enough. the presentation in public areas needed work. I saw some stained carpets and dusty furniture. this contrasted with the claim of a 5 stars.

Amazing amenities and great service!
wide array local option modern equipment
I stayed at this AMAZING place for a few days. The breakfast had a wide array of choices, I found local and international options. The staff was helpful. Their attentiveness enhanced my experience. I really appreciate the gym with its modern equipment.
During my visit, I did find that the sound isolation between rooms was not ideal. I sometimes heard noise from adjacent rooms. This impacted my rest, especially during early mornings.
