“This hotel presents a curious mix; a grand, almost palatial experience with some operational quirks, specifically with the HVAC system. Its rich history and diverse dining options are certainly appealing, but be sure to clarify amenity costs upfront; the location is good for exploring the city, though not the most direct from the airport.”

the location was very convenient. the staff was super helpful and friendly, especially at the front desk. the buffet offered many food options and my family enjoyed all the meals (i especially liked the desserts!).
the motion detection light near the doorway was too sensitive and triggered when the adjacent room's door opened.

Staff showed professionalism. I got a room upgrade at check-in, it was unexpected. My room included multi-power sockets. There was a wireless charger too. The hotel is located near a subway station.
The room had no toothbrush. I had to ask for one at reception.

The location is good. It is close to the metro. the staff were friendly, and i found them accommodating. the breakfast selection had good options.
The motion detection light near the doorway proved too sensitive. i found it turned on whenever the next room's door opened. the air conditioning system did not perform well. It stopped when i left the room. the room took a long time to cool down afterwards.
