Over rated over priced disappointment
Good location but that is it. Room was not as Hotels.com advertised - images showed kitchenette which was not the case. Room was not as Mantra advertised - certainly not luxury with archaic technology - not the digital services - unable to use smart TV in fact a DVD unit. It is in need of a paint, new carpets blinds and basic provisions. Service terrible - calle reception about the room and told to email manager who would be back Monday (48 hours)
