Reviews
I had an awful stay at this hotel. The location is terrible—right next to a busy main road, making it impossible to sleep with the constant noise of traffic throughout the night. I stayed for three nights and barely got any sleep.
The air conditioning is another nightmare. The vent is positioned directly over the bed, blowing cold air on you all night. Even after turning off the AC, the vent continued to blow air, making me wonder what the point of the controller was. It’s an extremely uncomfortable and poorly designed setup.
To make things worse, the room had a bizarre issue: every time I turned on the faucet, there was a high-pitched screaming noise that made it feel like a ******* house. I was afraid to use the faucet at night because of the unnerving sound.
The housekeeping was equally disappointing. The cleaning was superficial at best—bed sheets were not properly made, and it seemed like all they did was pull the blanket over the bed. The level of cleanliness was far from acceptable.
Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
Only knock is unnecessary charging on items and lack of complementary water in the room.

$$$ - they offer a 3-tiered payment option which determines what champagne you get and what's included with the brunch. All appetizers are included and a list of cocktails if unlimited if champagne is not your thing. Needless to say, expect to pay a handsome amount per person but it is well worth it.
SERVICE - Service was impeccable and our waiters were attentive. There was a slight lull in getting us refills on water and champagne closer towards the end of the service window(it's 2 hours per table) but once this was brought to the waiter's attention it was quickly fixed and never happened again. NOTE WELL: each person gets an entree dish which is basically a prepared meat, poultry or fish based on the payment tier you pick. If you like to take your time do not order the entree as soon as your drink orders are taken. Let them know you'll order later when you are ready. This ensure you get it in good time and don't feel rushed so you get to enjoy your meal.
FOOD- Japanese flavours from freshly prepared sushi that was absolutely delicious to Japanese pancakes and bbq ribs which had a sweet crisp outer crunch met with a melt-in-your-mouth feel. I will definitely go again!
