I appreciate the banquet hall. It accommodated our gathering of 80 people well. Mr Mumtaz, the Banquet Manager, was efficient. Mr Jeffrey, the F&B Manager, was very helpful. The staff made our event special, SO thankful.

I received an upgrade to a beautiful king room, but it wasn't excellent. The room seemed dated, especially the shower. There was also a WEIRD smell present.
