On my last stay I booked a double room but it was too small so we opt to check out and requested a one night refund since they offered to make the reservation at the property on arrival as opposed to my third party reservation. The executive room was comfortable and spacious though prices were high.

Excellent property with a very unique design concept. Excellent innovation at full display. Just loved how the reception area eases into the Bar and dinning area. The one thing that I didn't like for the Room with the Balcony was noises from the metal roof from even slight rain drops.

The proximity to the mall (being only feet away) and it being central to many areas in the city were great. The staff was very attentive and helpful as well when it came to helping with rides. While the complementary breakfast was good, I was not a huge fan of dinner.
