A Good Stay!

spacious room wide array

The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival. Our upgraded room was spacious and spotlessly clean, such a refreshing feeling. The bed, oh, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud, so cozy!!! Breakfast included a wide array of choices, including yummy bacon.

The gym class above our 22nd-floor room created a disruptive noise due to weighted gym balls. The soundproofing was insufficient. Despite reporting it, the noise continued, hindering relaxation. I thought it needed better management.

Location

The hotel is centrally situated, with the waterfront within easy reach, perfect for romantic evening strolls. Several nice restaurants and rooftop bars are near the hotel. It's a convenient home base for exploring!

The breakfast offered a wide selection of delicious options that catered to almost every taste. The in-room menu clearly marked allergens, very helpful. There were decent vegetarian and vegan options. The terrace lounge also offers an amazing rooftop view.

the breakfast buffet had a huge variety i loved trying different sri lankan dishes. the room was super spacious with two sinks in the bathroom that's always a bonus for me

the night receptionist didn't know about my late check-in that was a bit annoying. i ordered a tuna sandwich and it was way too spicy i couldn't eat it. they knocked on my door at 4 am to make me pay instead of adding it to the bill that was inconvenient

spicy sandwich moldy bathroom

I must say my stay had a couple of snags. the night receptionist seemed caught off guard by my late arrival, even though i had informed them. ordering a tuna sandwich via room service led to an unexpected fiery experience. It was far too spicy, and there was no warning about the heat. also, the room's cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Mold was present in the bathroom joints and on the shower curtain. stained sinks certainly did not improve matters.
