Modern Hotel Near Excel

clean place birthday decoration
I found this place very clean and modern. The pool was good, though directions to get there could be improved. I appreciate that the staff goes above and beyond to. They decorated the room for my partner birthday, I did thank them.
I think that there aren't much around the hotel. Time spent at the hotel outside of Excel days meant transit back into the city. the air conditioning in the rooms didn't really work well. It seemed overpriced for the location and amenities.
