Property was new, nice, and big (it was basically a full fledged one room apartment we had). Two TVs, kitchenette and washing machine. Location was well placed within 10min walk to gaya street. Only drawback was that Citadines co-shares the plot and common facilities w an apartment building called Northshore (different wing) which brings along w that, tons of short-stay crowd (amongst them children) and noise in the common areas, esp the pool.

Sad to note there wasn’t a swimming pool per se but only an adult wading pool that allows you to enjoy the cooling off & sunset. No attendant in sight in the gym ( suppose to collect pool towel) & no pool towels available except the small ones. Went down @ 4.00pm to 6th level & left about 5.00pm or so when I sighted hotel staff with the load of clean fresh pool towels! Only a coffeeshop available for dining with limited menu choices. Not convenient for those on short stays despite the fact that my room has the kitchen facilities & cutlery.

第一晚酒店房有蟑螂， 房門開關不順， 每次開一半都聽到門鉸的聲音， 出入時全個走廊都聽到。 跟他們說換房只說滿了。 叫他們做清潔也不置可否。 另， 問及附近地點， 職員都說不清楚。 例如郵局， 他們只說很近行4分鐘， 叫我出門口自己google. 一個說關門， 另一個又說有開放。 問他們哪裡有明信片買。 只說周日店鋪關門。 但明明隔離商場地庫有售。 基本上地理位置好硬件不錯。 但就是員工服務有待改善

호텔은 괜찮지만 주변환경이 아쉬움

1.룸컨은 나름 괜찮습니다. 레지던스의 딱 그정도 느낌입니다. 호텔에 비하면 조금 아쉬운.. 신상호텔 답게 집기들은 다 새거인것이 티남 2. 조식은 많이 아쉽습니다. 선택을 안하는게 더 나을듯 해요. 3. 수영장 메인풀장이 2개인데 인피니티풀장쪽만 이용 가능합니다. 중앙쪽 풀장은 맞은편 호텔쪽분들이 이용하는 풀장임. 인피니티풀쪽이 한가하며 수질도 좋고 전망도 좋아서 큰 풀만은 없었습니다. 4. 주변환경이 좀 아쉽습니다. 조금 늦은시간 외부로 나가면 큰쥐와 바퀴벌레들과 마주치게 됩니다. 워터프론트 라인이라 바로앞 시장이 형성되어 있어서 어쩔 수 없는 환경인것은 이해하지만 와이프가 보고 큰 충격을 받았네요. 이런 환경은 잘고려해야 할 것 같네요.
