It’s a nice hotel, but be prepared to wait. You want a drink at the bar? You’re going to wait several minutes for service. Use the elevators? They take forever. Get breakfast? Takes them 2 minutes to process every person in, so if there’s 3-4 people in front of you, you’ll wait. On top of that aircon in room didn’t work.
