The receptionist could really use some training in hospitality.
Check-in time was at 2 PM, but I arrived close to 4 PM and the room still wasn’t ready. I had to wait for 15 minutes. The receptionist—I didn’t catch his name—was not welcoming at all. He didn’t smile, didn’t greet us, and gave me a look as if I was an intruder rather than a guest. And to be clear, I didn’t book the cheapest standard room—I booked a suite. I can’t imagine how they treat guests staying in standard rooms if this is how they treat suite guests. As the front liner, he should’ve known that hospitality is key in this line of work, but not a single smile was offered as basic courtesy.
Another thing: the room’s overall concept felt off. The bedroom had a modern vibe, but the bathroom looked like it was from a 1990s apartment. The shower wasn’t adjustable, unlike what I usually find in 4-star hotels, and the bathroom facilities felt more like something from an OYO hotel.
The breakfast selection was inconsistent. On the first day, the buffet had a decent variety of chicken and fish, which I assumed was because there was an event at the hotel and many guests were staying. But on the second day, the breakfast was unappealing, with very few options—mostly gorengan. I had no complaints about the taste, but I wasn’t a fan of the menu variety. Also, on the first day, I was charged for my kid’s breakfast, but on the second day, it was free. I’m not sure why there was such inconsistency.
This was my first time staying here, and I don’t see myself coming back in the future.
