I had a mixed experience during my stay at the hotel. While my King Room was functional and had a working air conditioner along with a bar fridge, the ongoing renovations and issues with the gate being manual were a bit frustrating. The hostess was incredibly accommodating, which made my stay a bit more pleasant, but I can't overlook the overall challenges present.
