Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers spacious rooms with very good quality and comfortable mattresses and pillows for a relaxing night's sleep. However, the resort fee of $80 per day was a bit underwhelming, and my allocated room in the Diamond Tower was small, old, and dark.
The hotel is situated in the VIP building, offering simple rooms with a small fridge, perfect for basic drinks or morning yogurts. The rooms might be a bit outdated, but nothing too concerning. The price is on the higher side, but you get the VIP experience.
