it was a very pleasant stay. The location cannot be better. The rooms are large and plenty of room to hang clothes. Selections are varied and plentiful. Toilets can be upgraded to Toto type of toilets found in newer hotels. Otherwise there is nothing to complain and everything to be recommended.

We enjoy the sauna and steam room in the female's spa room. Would've been better if they have jacuzzi too, but only available in the men's.
