I've always loved staying here. Everything was good before this but this time, I encountered unpleasant experience during check-in, which really blew off my whole mood. Nonetheless, the rest of my stay here was awesome!

Slow check-in counter. Problem hotel check-in because our booking number does not appear in the hotel system when we arrived at the hotel. Had to wait about an hour to settle down. Finally had to paid again for the walk-in rate. So pathetic 🥺.

During check in, I was not informed in advance, I was sent an email to double confirm that I was spending the night there. Hours to wait for check in wasted time, request connecting room but I couldn't either. I want to give only 4/10 rate this time
