"Everything is okay, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Only one thing to improve, breakfast quality is not up to a 5 stars hotel standard. The hard boiled egg is cold, egg station serving is slow, other foods not appetizing and poor taste although wide selection. We totally not taken the breakfast the next day. "
