When I arrived for pre check-in, I was told I would be contacted once my room was ready — but I never received any update. This lack of communication was the first of several issues that negatively affected my stay. Upon entering the room, I noticed a strong, unpleasant odor in the shower area — similar to cat urine — which made the space very uncomfortable to use. Additionally, there was a noticeable gap between the shower door and the floor, which caused water to flood the bathroom during use. I had to use several towels to clean up the water. I called the guest services multiple times requesting additional towels, and each time I was told they would be brought shortly. However, after waiting over an hour and receiving nothing, we were delayed in leaving as planned, which ultimately ruined our day. I expected a much higher level of cleanliness, responsiveness, and overall service. This experience fell far short of what I believe a 5-star hotel aims to provide.

Check-in process was ridiculously long which was quite disappointing as we were headed to a wedding and was late. The stay itself was okay however we did have access to the executive lounge which wasn't the greatest. We ended up having breakfast downstairs. Not sure if I would get a room for lounge access in future
