Better than I expected. Comfortable beds and pillows, room is a nice setup overall with bathroom also nice and presentable. Good shower pressure, very good aircon, breakfast buffet is of good quality with the options you need. I would definitely use this place again for accommodation. Note: valet parking only onsite and is not accesible to guests; only via valet.

There were a number of problems: 1) They mocked up my booking, so when I arrived they were not expecting me. They then found me a room, but wanted to charge me additional fee as they only had a superior room available. 2) They did not provide breakfast, despite my booking clearly stating Breakfast is included. 3) Upon checkout, I asked for a receipt. They said that they will email it. One week later, I still haven't got it.
