great location helpful concierge valuable advice responsive housekeeping

The location is great, very convenient to shops and dining! Allan at the concierge desk was cute and helpful. He offered valuable advice about exploring the area.. including travel to and from places! The responsiveness of the housekeeping team was also fantastic. They promptly addressed any requests we had.

The gym required navigating stairs, a bit tiring before a workout.

fantastic room upgrade!

lovely apartment clean apartment quiet night neighboring hotel

shali at the reception upgraded my room to a really lovely apartment. it had everything i needed, and the apartment smelled nice and clean. i was happy the hotel did not have a nightclub because it was very quiet at night, great for good sleep. lots of other neighboring hotels have clubs (it can get loud!).

the hotel lacks proper car parking. my car ended up parked under a tree. this resulted in some bird droppings on it (i wish it was covered).

The breakfast had a wide selection. The staff were accommodating and offered valet parking (i liked that).

The rooms are okay but need some upgrades. The TVs are outdated, and the windows are sealed shut, so fresh air is not available.
