The hotel offers spacious rooms that are quite dusty with some spider webs, lacking in cleanliness. On the positive side, the rooms are lovely, well-heated, and spacious, providing a quiet and bright atmosphere. The service is outstanding with friendly and helpful staff going above and beyond. The location is convenient, close to amenities, but with expensive parking. Dining includes a variety of food alternatives but may feel rushed by the staff. Facilities are decent with no standout positives or negatives.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms felt like saunas with no air-con, making it uncomfortably hot even with the windows wide open. The strong tobacco smell was a big downside, and the broken thermostat in the bathroom didn't help the situation. On the bright side, the location was prime and very convenient for accessing the city mall and underground station.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to assist with online check-in and printing boarding passes. However, some aspects like poor hygiene from cleaning staff disappointed.

The dining experience was good, but the staff seemed rushed even when the restaurant wasn't busy. However, the highlight was the check out process, which was smooth and efficient.

Facilities

The facilities were lacking, especially for a 4-star hotel. The absence of air conditioning in the room and unhelpful reception and duty manager stood out as areas needing improvement.
