The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Unique Room Design

I stayed in the top suite room 222, which was decorated in a beautiful woven cane style. The round bathtub was a highlight, and the dome-shaped room added a quirky charm. Though some amenities were a bit dated, my overall experience was good.
