Really good Palace Stay

the bellman, opened our taxi door, I felt welcomed. The check-in agent, Maribel, accommodated my request for a quiet room. I enjoyed a refreshing water while waiting and seemed like royalty in the beautiful palace (it was such a treat!). The on-site Coroa Royal Gallery & Garden offered a delicious breakfast buffet with food made to order.
My room felt slightly smaller than the size I had booked.

The staff helped my wife find a local dentist during a dental emergency. The location was ideal, and I appreciated being near key attractions. The hotel's courtyard provided a tranquil escape. It was charming and well kept.
The shower in the family room included a bathtub, taking up most of the space. It was a strange design choice since the bathtub was not situated against the wall. I would prefer they improve the bathroom layout.

The staff at the concierge desk was very helpful and professional. the hotel provided great private tours.. they helped explain the city sites. the location was central. It made sightseeing very easy. we even received a boxed snack for our early morning departure.
the family room had a bathtub in the shower, taking up most of the space. the room felt small, with limited lighting and no separation from the pullout couch.. it did not have pocket doors as i've seen elsewhere.
