Pleasant stay
I stayed just for a night after a long flight landing at night. Everything went smoothly—the staff was very friendly, and check-in was prompt. The hotel is conveniently located just 3-5 minutes from the airport. The room was clean and well-maintained, with complimentary tea and water provided.

Poor Room Service
The cleanliness
What could be improved: The poor room service - took 40 minutes exactly for the room service team to bring 2 bottles of water over to my room over multiple reminder calls
Highly disappointed
Good experience
Overall, good experience. Smooth checkin process. Basement parking. Clean room and comfortable beds. Dinner and breakfast buffets were having good options and had ample space to accommodate all. Clean swimming.pool. Friendly staff. For any urgent grocery/other needs, there is a supermarket in walking distance.
What could be improved: Except for swimming pool, no other kids activities like kids play area etc. Not even a walk path/outside greenery area to spend some time.
