The lift broke down. My family and I were stuck in the lift for almost 30 minutes. Inside the lift shaft, there was no phone signal, pressed the bell but no response. When finally got signal, it was weak and the emergency number was to the lift company and not the hotel. After 30 minutes, we finally heard voices. Took another 15 minutes before they brought us to safety and opened the door. When queried, staff said they have visual of us in the lift but the intercom was down. This was very traumatic. The other lifts functioned intermittently when we used it. There were long pause before the lift started moving. It was very stressful after that experience. There was no service recovery offered until asked. Free breakfast was offered to my family. Strongly urge the hotel to check the lift especially during and after a thunderstorm.

Bidet spray in the toilet showed signs of bursting. At 3am I decided to called the room service and activate the maintenance team. Fortunately wheh he arrives, the pipe burst and strong jet of water comes our. Luckily his hand was holding it and pointing to the floor. Imagine if I was using it and naked with the jet if water spraying all over the toilet! Breakfast was not nice. Food looks appealing but taste wasnt fantastic! Lost my appetite to have a sumptious buffet spread breakfast on my 2nd morning.

The hotel is located near CIQ and near malls, which is very convenient. The pastry corners in breakfast is great variety of danish pastry, doughnuts , wafers. There are gluten free bread. It would be great if the breakfast has more proteins. There are lot of carbs such as prata, rice, dried bee hoon and noodle soup. Overall experience of room and staff service are excellent.

The service staff were excellent and I enjoyed my stay there. However I think the hotel needs to improve on sound proofing and air ventilation within the hotel. 1) We booked 2 rooms but they could not give us adjoined rooms, which was fine. However we had to share a connecting room with a stranger and they disturbed our peace by turning on the TV very loudly until 1.40am and switched it on again at 6am. In conclusion I think it is not ideal to let hotel guests who don't know each other share adjoined rooms. 2) When we entered the other room, it was filled with stale cigarette smell. Throughout the stay, we continued to smell the cigarette smoke, which likely came from the air con vents.

My family like the breakfast, front desk staff serve us during check in and out very good and same as restaurant (breakfast time) very friendly. But the swimming pool on website not expect what we look on that time. haha But, we try to ask extra bed but the staff say cannot because our room too small. and they didn't help us any upgrade room because i with 3 small kids fit at king bed ( the bed size is like queen size bed) we are 5 of us have to squeeze . Friday, i check-in ask for extra towel 2 ( called phone 2 times at front desk) answer but didn't receive. next day going breakfast 5 of us have to share 2 towel and my kids use face towel/ small towel. come back from breakfast i saw housekeeping at corridor and ask towel the staff didn't give but told later they will send. i waited about maybe 15min or more then they send. Thank You!

Everything is good except the so call "firm" pillows on bed are still too soft for us, giving us a pain in the neck after waking up in the mornings. Excellent services provided at check in, breakfast lounge and room cleaning. Appreciate the effort.
