This was the worst hotel I have been to in years. My room phone 1624 was not working for the whole 5 days I stayed there. I could order anything from the room. If I needed anything from toothpicks to an emergency kit, I had to go downstairs from the 16th floor. I reported it every single day, sometimes twice a day. They wrote it down on papers and never did anything about it, like never. It was the worst trip and stay asides the gym facility and friend staff that bit was terrible considering I paid more than $1k for 5 nights in a junior suite that was broken. The hotel is not worth it at all.

Really enjoyed my very short stay. Welcoming front desk staff, awesome gym, great breakfast and cool decor, like the Japanese Garden AND it’s close to the main part of town - I would really recommend this hotel for a business stay or a romantic getaway.

Far away from being a 5-star hotel. When you have to call reception 3 times for the room to get cleaned and it finally happens at 9pm, you understand where you are.

The public areas are lavish but service levels for a 5 star international hotel were dreadful. It felt like a load of concessions rather than a joined up business. I was told I couldn’t sit in the bar area by the spa as I had bought my drink at another bar. That’s absurd. A few weeks of training could solve a lot of the problems.

This was my second visit to this hotel. The first time I stayed there, the receptionist at the front desk was rude. When she checked me in the room she sent me too was not even cleaned. This stay, I accidentally left my kindle. I went back after they told me it was found and the same rude receptionist from the first visits told me it was not there.
