helpful doorman spacious room fixed shower capped air con
the rooms are spacious and impeccably kept by the housekeeping crew. i especially appreciated the front desk staff and doorman they were helpful and cute.
the shower was fixed at an awkward height so it was hard to shower comfortably. i found that the air con wouldn't go below 22 degrees. it was capped. i wish they had told us.
