small room low ceiling
The hotel staff was professional and friendly. I want to specifically mention Esther Tam, she helped me and my family get the best rooms closest together, KNOW the hotel was at capacity.
I was disappointed with the room Size. It was so small and the ceilings were very low. There were two tiny windows that barely provided any LIGHT. That really affected my enjoyment. When I requested to change rooms, I was placed in a slightly larger room right next to the kitchen.

excellent customer service friendly door staff clean rooms faulty tv complex shower system small bed
The staff provided really good customer service. The reception and door staff were very friendly. The rooms were clean, elegant, and luxurious. I also liked that the location was excellent (close to many attractions).
The TV in my room was not working properly, even after I requested repairs three times. The shower system was also too complex. I found operating it not user-friendly. The bed in my room was small for the price.

Balanced experience at this hotel
clean room spacious room helpful staff limited air conditioning inconvenient shower terrestrial television
The room was clean. I appreciated the spaciousness of it. The hotel staff was helpful upon check-in. The concierge also gave clear directions to nearby attractions.
The room's air conditioning did not cool below 22 degrees. I found this uncomfortable. The shower head was fixed at an inconvenient height. The television only accessed terrestrial channels, despite initial indications otherwise.

A Stay to Remember
warm welcome professional manner
Marina gave me a warm welcome during check-in. Her kindness and professional manner were good. I used the concierge desk often and Sean and Joseph always helped. The late-night room service was a wonderful benefit after long days.
The front desk staff was unfamiliar with a specific program. I received only part of the benefits I expected. I also had to speak with multiple people to get them. It.
