The room facility was poor (very weak shower, slow how water, strange electrical wiring). Worse was that they charged a destination fee (and several taxes on that fee) on top of all the legitimate taxes. Not sure what the destination fee was.

Our room was very nice. It was spacious and included everything you might need including a place to put your luggage, dresser, high counter in bathroom. However, not sure why the hotel sent an email asking if we wanted to pay extra for upgrades like fridge or room with a river view. Don't pay for it! All the rooms come with a fridge. And our room had a river view anyway.

A hotel never keeps its word

I decided to stay at the hotel after being promised a tax exemption by the receptionist before I checked in. However, at the time of check-in and check-out, the receptionist verbally stated that the tax exemption would be processed on the basis of the documents I provided, but in fact it was not. A few days after I checked out, I called and emailed again to ask about the tax refund, and was asked to provide proof of identity and relevant documents for the refund by email, but so far it has been another week since then, with no news. I am really, again and again, disappointed that they do not keep their word!
