A rather expensive stop over but a place to rest for an early start
Pros:

The robot that deliver my coffee 😀

Cons:

The deluxe room I ordered had a stepover bath for shower. Not great for seniors.
Requested another room with two beds and it was a downgrade where the aircon looked broken
To compensate the difference was a drink voucher. Dissapointing stay.
