It's a beautifully decorated hotel. Lighting around the sink area in the room is very poor for makeup and hair preparedness. I was bummed that the pool was closed for use and not disclosed while booking.

First night remote was broken. Then the toilet would not flush. Then dirty water rose up in my sink and was unusable. Engineering was not able to fix so I could not use my sink. They gave me a lousy 5k marriott points for having disgusting water filled in my sink. Avoid this hotel its a dump
