My stay at the hotel was quite underwhelming. The rooms I received didn't match the photos I'd seen, which was really disappointing. While the staff was accommodating, the service was lacking and I felt ignored at times. The rooftop restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but the food was just average. Location-wise, it's a bit of a trek to the mall road, especially at night, which was a downside.

I had a decent stay at the hotel that's just a short walk from Mall Road. The rooms are modern and pretty comfortable, though I found it a bit chilly without proper heating during my visit in March. The rooftop restaurant is nice with fresh food, but be prepared for some price haggling. Overall, I would consider staying here again as it offers good value for money, despite a few drawbacks.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel with spacious rooms and a rooftop restaurant that offers a great view of the city. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. However, while the dine-in food was delicious, it felt a bit overpriced, and the breakfast menu could use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent place for a family getaway, but some aspects could definitely be enhanced.

The rooftop restaurant offered delicious food, although it was a bit pricey. However, I think there's room for improvement in the breakfast menu.
