Pleasant single-night family stay

Nice single-night stay with young family. Cot provided. I wasn’t aware that the apartment was double story so we had to keep a close eye on 2-year old from going up/down the stairs. All-in-all a pleasant stay

just average

receptionist was cold rude and half asleep with lots of people waiting, more staff needed. I told her and showed her i’d paid but she made me pay again!! was refunded the next day. Green internet light flashed on and off all night. we were put in an average room in a building that resembled an old school dorm - old carpet etc. I’ve stayed here before and i know they have nicer rooms but we were given a terrible one.

The hotel is a bit of old in terms of the facility and furnitures. The quality of the room is bit of like some 3 stars motels as the bathroom is quiet old. The white sheets are with some stain of bloods which needs to be improved. However, Reception is friendly and meet the hotel standard. For 1 night stay is still acceptable.

On arrival, it appeared that perhaps there was a debut ball in one of the function rooms. Once we obtained our key and made our way to the room, we could see how big the property actually was. Being near the back of the property, there was no noise from the function, traffic or anyone else on the property. The rooms were lovely and clean, and very modern, but the hallways and the entrance to the hallway could use some work. Also the car park area for our room was quiet a distance from the room we were staying in, and inconvenient for carrying luggage to the room; particularly when you have several things to transfer. Only for the king bed, the bathroom and the quiet, I will be back again - and hopefully to the same back area of the property where I can sleep easily.
