"I was here for a short business trip. While the interior design appeared alittle dated, the service level was exceptional. I absentmindedly left my watch in the room and had to make arrangements to retrieve it. The process was smooth and the response from GSM was fast. Thank you so much to all the staff and GSM I interacted with . Will definitely consider the hotel in my next visit."
