So, just beware of this - the 25% sale is not guaranteed. While I will stay there as I have read reviews in tripadvisor, but am not happy with the way the rates were displayed in USD but charged in local currency.
This happens to me monthly, every trip I take outside the US. If you book at hotel desk they'd ask you what currency you want to be charged in.
