friendly staff welcome drink super clean rooms heavy door limited space frosted glass
the staff were very friendly and helpful. i received a welcome drink upon arrival (it was a nice touch). the rooms were super clean and well appointed. i visited the deck on floor 12 and the views were great.
the door to the balcony was very heavy and not easy to open. there was not a lot of space for clothes in the room. the loo and separate shower had frosted glass doors. you could hear people using the facilities.

Good Hotel Experience
champagne gift room tour misleading advertisement extra charge
The staff were really good and ensured we were taken care of. We were given champagne and a lovely gentleman took us to our room. He even gave us a tour. Each staff member were really good .
I didn't like the fact we were given a room that looks nothing like what was advertised online. I also did not like the fact that we would be receiving free breakfast due to this. we ended being charged anyway. I think that nobody really communicated with each other regarding the guests.
