"I was very impressed with the hotel.. it was more than I expected. Just note, the elevator is on one of side of the building so it may be a bit of a work to some rooms. Many thanks to Ariannia and Alison who assisted with me checkout. My stay was a premium room but a client at the premium check out desk was taking long."
