Why should I book direct instead of through a third-party site?

Booking direct guarantees the best available rate, a complimentary room upgrade (subject to availability), the option to request early check-in or late check-out, and secure payment handled under industry-standard PCI compliance. Third-party sites cannot offer these benefits.

What entertainment does the hotel offer?
