This was about the worst stay i have had in any hotel. The hotel failed to deliver even on the very basic items as stated on its site. They ran short of beddings and I had to ask severally for pillow cases for my room and the staff were largely unresponsive.. even spotted a couple of small roaches in my room...not recommended!

The hotel was clean and rooms were just aa i saw in the photo. However, my room windows were faulty and leaked in water that started flooding my room. Thank God i was moved to another room. There was noise along the corridors of the 5th floors by staff in the morning. The gym service was great but they can improve on the hygiene
