Spacious and Comfortable

I had a spacious room with a king bed on the 4th floor that included a balcony and a relaxing spa. The overhead fan and air conditioning made the room very comfortable during my stay.

Nice and Relaxing Spa

I made sure to enjoy the spa during my stay. The large whirlpool tub in a separate room was a perfect way to relax after a long day.
