My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were equipped with a TV box, offering plenty of options to watch TV; however, the decorations were a bit overwhelming in the pricey suite, aiming for a Tibetan/Yunnan theme but feeling more like a hassle. On the bright side, being close to the club lounge was a huge plus due to the resort's size, offering comfort and convenience.
