Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On arrival to this property I thought I would’ve had a very warm welcome especially that I was going to review this property on social media. Staff knew minimal English and gave me my room keycard without explaining where breakfast was, scanning keycard in elevator, lounge access or any amenities. Throughout my week my wifi kept logging out and I had to call them multiple time for a new voucher number. My keycard to get in my room had to be changed about 6 times because it wouldn’t work despite me keeping it separate from other cards or devices. Airport pick up lacked an extreme level of communication, they would say the shuttle is coming in 10 mins and it will show up 50 mins later, the drivers knew zero English. The room was very out dated despite being on the 6th floor. Only thing I enjoyed was the view from my room and their breakfast options. Would I stay here again? Probably not.

I would rate it at most a four star hotel. Staffs are unfriendly. Front desk took forever with checking in/out. Rooms are old and need refurbishing. Not a convenient location if you’re looking for food. There are 3 restaurants inside the hotel but they’re only open after 6pm. Nothing is close by its vicinity
