The staff were friendly and helpful during my stay. My room was nicely prepared and clean. I happened to meet the room maintenance lady that came the next morning. She was very friendly and nice to greet with me. I had enjoyed my time staying here and would recommend it to other people. It is a heritage hotel but is very well maintained.

Great breakfast; very clean room and excellent customer service. Only downside is not a lot of parking; the outside facade misleading: once you get in, it’s 5 star hotel, almost. Will be back for sure. Loved the heritage feeling.

Everything is good, acceptable.
The front desk staff Liang is nice.
Pool towel and chair are always not enough for guests.

Please make improvements to the furniture, as many pieces are old, damaged, and dirty. The mattress only has a single bedsheet. The pillows are not soft,they cause headaches. The sink is clogged. There’s a lot of hair on the bathroom floor.
