The room was not updated, not decorated at all, I would not consider this a “luxury” spot for the price. While I went for my birthday, other people staying there were also celebrating their birthdays and received a free dessert while I didn’t get anything till I mentioned it to staff. I also wasn’t given an option for a meal plan like others were.
