Seleccioné una habitación de lujo con balcón. La vista es adecuada pero lateral. La habitación era estándar, amenities ninguno, más que dispensadores de jabón y shampoo pegados a la pared. Ningún otro amenity, ni siquiera gorrito de baño o algún tipo de jabón especial. En general bien, pero considero que el valor de la habitación no compensa lo que se recibe a cambio.

Room was large and breakfast good (though hot food could be better). Bedding wasn’t great and hotel seems dated. Thermostat in room did not work and got quite cold at night. Front desk was notified, never fixed.

Waited two hours to get checked in even after arriving at 3PM. They staff were not honest and kept telling us it was “Expedia’s” fault but that was just a lie for them not to take accountability. Specially a front desk clerked calls Ibrahim gave us the run around for hours and then just “left” because his shift was over.

Location, location, location. first day i took an uber to the palace and on my second day took the hopoff and hopon bus and realized that most of the popular tourist attractions were within walking distance of the hotel. I arrived at 9am for a 3 pm check in and the reception went out of their way to get a room ready within the hr. I wasted $ going out for breakfast, to later realize how good the included breakfast was.
