Fazela P. Business - 8/12/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay was okay, room was okay. I didn’t like the service. One lift working meant long waits trying to get up and down. Breakfast beans were all dried out every day, regardless of the time I went. I asked for ice and had to wait almost 2 hour's to get it which I thought was ridiculous. No one even informed there will be a delay, and when i chased it up I was told the manager was busy. Okay, but then apologise and send it up immediately, instead I had to wait another 20 minutes. Had AC and that is the only reason I booked. Being gold member means nothing
