The bar even had a pool table and illuminated wall features, making our nights there entertaining and enjoyable.” view full review

Unique Shower Experience

“The shower in my room was quite something! It featured a fun and funky design, with light-colored walls and a warrior woman motif. Although it was a little transparent, which let in light, it added a unique flair to the room. It was definitely a conversation starter!” view full review
