This birthday trip stay was extremely disappointing.
First, regarding the room: I booked a Deluxe Room with External City View, but Room 910 only had one small window facing the city, while the other two windows faced a wall.
When I tried to speak with the male supervisor in a white shirt at the front desk about a paid upgrade to a room with a better view, he quoted me the rack rate instead of the best available rate. I eventually declined the offer. The only upgrade option provided was a Junior Suite, and the supervisor clearly wasn’t considering things from the guest’s perspective.
The room required the key card for power, air conditioning, and bathroom ventilation to function, which meant the room had a damp smell and small bugs in the bathroom.
Additionally, since there’s no air conditioning in the hallways, the temperature difference caused condensation to form on the room door.
Only one key card was provided. If you forget to bring it, you have to contact the front desk, and even then, you might be left waiting ten minutes with no one caring or assisting.
The room came with two bottles of drinking water daily, but on the third day, I was given a bottle that had already been opened — an unacceptable and unsanitary mistake, possibly from another guest’s room.
Next, the restaurant:
The breakfast room has a nice view, but the staff offered inconsistent service. On the second morning, a staff member seated me by the window, but while I was at the buffet, he gave my seat to a group of Indian guests.
During the meal, I kept hearing the male staff in white shirts flatter Western guests and push for positive reviews by name, while completely ignoring Asian guests like me.
On the third day, while I was still getting food, I turned around to find my table already cleared — a rude and low-standard behavior without even confirming whether I had finished dining.
The room and restaurant experience were both terrible.
I also had a one-hour foot massage at the hotel spa. While the staff were polite, the skill was poor. The therapist kept pressing hard near my shinbone, which caused significant pain in my lower leg.
I do not recommend staying in any room below the Executive Balcony level,
and I also do not recommend this hotel for Asian guests — the service discrimination is obvious and unacceptable.
The overall stay was a horrible experience. 👎
Apart from its prime location, the hotel has no redeeming qualities.
