Reviews
1. The hotel phone is consistently unreachable.
2. When I wanted to extend my stay and inquired about room rates, the sales team was unresponsive – no calls returned, no messages replied to. I waited half the morning with no follow-up, which is completely irresponsible.
3. A front desk staff member promised to bring a new room card to my room, but after waiting two hours, nothing happened.
4. I was trying to relax in the lobby bar around 11 AM, but was constantly disturbed by the deafening noise of carpet cleaning and sofa repairs.
5. Breakfast was very disappointing.
The lobby has plenty of seating, including single armchairs, sofas for two, and larger group arrangements, perfect for relaxing or chatting.
I booked a single room; it wasn't huge but felt very cozy. The mattress was comfortable, and the breakfast was good. The service was also very attentive. As an introvert, I really appreciated the overall vibe. Plus, the light meal options at the downstairs restaurant were quite good.
The service was also very good, and they upgraded my room.
The location is conveniently situated between the new and old areas, making it easy to get to both.
