Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The entire floor my room was on was being renovated. The hallways had no flooring laid down, and the workers had very heavy body odour smells which unfortunately migrated into my room, and it was very noisy during the work. I definitely don’t feel I should have paid full price for this room

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We were put in a room that had not been finished. It smelled of paint, had an open electrical box in the room, and the staff needed to come in to do some work right when we arrived. The room numbers were not even in the hallway yet. To boot, the hallway was dusty with demolition dust and had exposed cinder blocks. The elevator smelled of smoke and body odor. The breakfast was fine and the attendant was very pleasant

We stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 2023. King room with a jacuzzi. Room was very spacious. Tub was great. Continental breakfast was very good. Location is excellent. Quick walk to the LRT. I’d stay here again.
