 "As high-end spots go this is an executive-class kind of place, lacking the space of a resort but making up for it with a more central location." 
 "The entrance is inside the Warisan Square mall, but don’t let that put you off – this stylish hotel has good-sized rooms, equipped with flat-screen TVs... Promotional rates."
