Slow check-in (15 mins to get my room) was into a good start, though receptionist was pleasant and apologised for long delay. Slightly tired looking hotel but comfortable and had nice buffet breakfast. Nice downtime location . Taxi drivers all seem to know where it is which helps.

We had a pleasant stay overall. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The breakfast was overall enjoyable with a good variety, particularly the custom made omelettes. For the deluxe room, the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. My only criticism was that the shower floor drain was poorly designed, which caused water puddles and flooding each time we used it. Additionally, the dinner buffet was disappointing — limited variety and food was not up to a high standard. The neighbourhood area is the inner city downtown where you get lots of food restaurants within walking distance, not the bougie city side if that’s what you’re looking for.

Everything was as I knew it when it was a Holiday Inn. All was fine except that one of the elevators was shaking slightly as it went up to the 14th floor in a way that didn't suggest anything major that need maintenance.. but it did aim to show its age. in addition to the fact that those who would use the gym had to climb to it from the 16th floor via the (non-air conditioned) stairs.
