Traveled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had to wait some time before we could access our room due to some mystery maintenance issue. Front desk staff didn't seem to onow what was going on. Room smelt of cigarette smoke, luckily the aircon had a deodorise type function. Room wasn't serviced regularly despite indicating we wanted service. We noticed some food crumbled into the carpet just outside the elevators which took three days before it was vacuumed up. Fire alarm went off at 1am on our first night and then stopped after 5 minutes. No explanation given. Breakfast buffet was okay, lack of variety of fresh fruit and they ran out of clean cups and plates. Great location, but even on the upper floors you can still hear the bars down below.
