Adequate Stay with Some Minor Issues
king room room space comfy bed comfortable bed sauna steam room room lighting lighting switch flat pillows uncomfortable pillows pool classes swimming squeeze
My king room provided loads of space , which I definitely appreciated. The bed was comfy. the shower had great power. I found the pool , sauna , and steam room to be a great addition as well.
I had some issues with the room lighting , I could not find a switch to turn off the light over the coffee station. The pillows provided were flat and did not give good support.

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.
