The room looked exactly as pictured online, so I was pleased. The most noteworthy thing is the staff. They were amazing!! I would have given a five if not for my struggle with the breakfast food choices. I just wish they had more protein options and not carbs. The view of the pyramid every morning was amazing. I would definitely recommend it to any travelers.
