Not sure were these crazy reviews came from but I enjoyed my stay.The breakfast bar was above average. The room was worth more than $100 a night. I would stay again without thought. If you are looking for valet to park your Bugatti Tourbillion, you need to get off this sight, call your assistant and have them book you at the Ritz.

Slow check-in (15 mins to get my room) was into a good start, though receptionist was pleasant and apologised for long delay. Slightly tired looking hotel but comfortable and had nice buffet breakfast. Nice downtime location . Taxi drivers all seem to know where it is which helps.

We had a pleasant stay overall. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The breakfast was overall enjoyable with a good variety, particularly the custom made omelettes. For the deluxe room, the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. My only criticism was that the shower floor drain was poorly designed, which caused water puddles and flooding each time we used it. Additionally, the dinner buffet was disappointing — limited variety and food was not up to a high standard. The neighbourhood area is the inner city downtown where you get lots of food restaurants within walking distance, not the bougie city side if that’s what you’re looking for.
