Lovely customer service from every single staff member we encountered. Great hospitality and felt very welcomed. Special thanks to Mustafah and Solomon at the drop off who were always smiling and professional. Kind servers including Julie, Emad and Tushan at breakfast. Sandivyah always ensured our room was immaculate. Thank you to everyone we met. We came as a couple for a week holiday. Pros: breakfast was ample and satisfying. Lovely heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. Lots of complementary water every day. Cons: hotel is looking dated and carpets are very worn. Initially were placed in a smoking room but they did move us when we asked (albeit to a smaller room). There was a live wire on our bedside cabinet that was simply taped up but it did spark and is a fire hazard and a danger to guests - wire needs proper replacement in 1005. Overall a nice stay Read less
