Mixed Experience: Great Staff, Good Food, but NO Airconditioned in Premier Room
I recently stayed at this hotel with my family during CHRISTMAS, and while the overall experience had its positive aspects, a significant issue left us with a less-than-ideal stay.
One of the highlights of our visit was the morning reception staff who were incredibly kind, accommodating, and proficient in English. Their warm welcome set a positive tone for the day, and we appreciated their efforts to make our stay enjoyable.
The culinary offerings at the hotel were another positive aspect. The food was not only delicious but also exceeded our expectations. The dining experience was definitely a highlight of our stay.
However, the major downside was the absence of air conditioning in our Premier Room. Despite paying for a more upscale accommodation suitable for families, the lack of AC proved to be a significant inconvenience. The room became excessively hot, making it uncomfortable for both us and our baby. Consequently, our little one was restless, and our attempts at a good night's sleep were thwarted by the stifling heat.
In an attempt to address the issue, I contacted the night receptionist early in the evening, around 6 pm. I requested a room change, as I suspected a malfunction in our room's air conditioning. To my surprise, the receptionist informed me that the entire building was without air conditioning. Skeptical, I randomly asked guests on other rooms, and they confirmed having functioning AC in their rooms.
This inconsistency left me perplexed, as it seemed that the hotel's policy or procedure for addressing malfunctioning room amenities was unclear. In other hotels, it is common practice to relocate guests when essential facilities like air conditioning are not working properly.
While the exceptional service from the morning receptionists and the delectable food were positive aspects, the discomfort caused by the lack of air conditioning in our Premier Room overshadowed our overall experience. For a hotel, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests ismost important, and we hope that the management addresses this issue to enhance the quality of future stays.
