Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was nice but the room was smaller than I thought. You really pay for the convenience and location. The staff was very accommodating and nice. They really made me feel like I was in a high class hotel. The only problem I had was that the room never got colder than 24°c even if I put the aircon to 19°c.
