As Canadian travelers, we stayed here for two nights just into the Chinese New Year.
I am extremely pleased with the value of money on cleanliness, service, quality, and location.
No room issues. Linen was clean, crisp, and comfortable. Huge shower with a rainfall shower head that works. Nice pool view for us. Carpets, drapes, and bathroom are all well maintained. Adequate toiletries. Maybe not representative of the five-star rating, yet satisfactory.
Never encountered any noise from neighboring rooms. Lots of elevators and quick service in them.
All staff were extremely helpful and polite. Staff allowed us an early check-in, which is always welcomed. They have an advance bag drop as well for convenience.
Yes, the pool was busy with children. Many families travel at this time of year, so it is not a genuine issue unlike other reviewers found. The gym is nicely appointed and air conditioned well. Need a little more lighting when heading back through the pool area at 10pm close.
Breakfast selection was quite nice and varied. Would like a little more fruit choices, yet I certainly didn't go hungry.
The only issue at breakfast is a shortage of staff to turn over the dirty tables considering the number of guests.
The location of the hotel is premium. Two big malls within walking distance. A night market at the end of the road walkable from the hotel and also close to the old colonial fort. In the other direction, you can find a number of open-air local small eateries. The hotel links internally with two malls, so covered access is a plus.
Also, just off the lobby is conveniently a 7/11, dimsum restaurant, local restaurant, and a cafe. It's super convenient and a great idea.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to be a repeat guest.
