As a repeat guest, I have say that this hotel didn't disappoint. The friendly staff, the cleanliness, and overall guest experience are an absolute 10/10 kudos to Tonny and the dedicated front office team. You guys understand customer service. Thanks for making my stay memorable.

There is only one issue, the meals at the restaurant are lacking. For such expensive meal options on your menu, there's definitely a need to revise this service. The kitchen staff is super nice, though.

This hotel was a nice surprise. It's very clean, very quiet and has excellent customer service all across the board from reception, dining and overall living. I highly recommend this place.

The commute to and from this gem can be tricky due to the poor road system and high traffic. You need to plan your commute wisely if you frequent the city center. Still not the hotel's fault but something to consider.

The rooms are clean, well furnished, comfortable, and not overpriced. The location is near the venue of the conference I was attending and quite convenient

The breakfast didn’t have enough choices and I didn’t get the lactose free milk I requested during booking. Also the music in the neighborhood/hotel was too loud some nights

Room was great

No vase for flowers. Lots of noise during the day from drilling and hammering as they installed air conditioning unit in a nearby room. Swimming pool changing room was for staff only so guests had no place to shower or change.

The room upgrade was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly

I didn't get basement parking when I arrived and I had to Park on the street. A suggestion, could the hotel could prioritize the basement parking for in-house guests?
