"I like this hotel very much. The room is spacious for the 2 of us. The beds, room and corridors are clean. The hotel is still being upgrading but we are not affected in anyway. The upgrading has improved the ambience. Buffet breakfast is also good. The location is so convenient for walking to Imago mall and the waterfront. But itโ€™s really too hot for walking. So Grab is cooler!! Also the staff at front desk is so helpful and polite. Recommended ๐Ÿ‘"
