"It was a wonderful hotel but do not expect VIP. We got a simple room in front of staff stocking room. The staff was amazing and always greeted us with a smile. Thus, hotel is beautiful and excellent location. They can book tours for you and taxi service. But if you are making a choice based on your VIP earned status….i would not expect it to be honored."
