Deco Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It's an apartment hotel with laundry in each rooms, very helpful if you stay a longer time. Room is very clean, staff is very friendly and the breakfast is great. The unit is super spacious. To our experience, this one is better than Sheraton and Marriott, probably the best we ever lived. And, we do international travel a lot, more than 3 months per year!"
