Liked:it is silent and clean; staff are generally very pleasant and helpful.
Disliked:1. Not the 1st time, but always have a feeling the bottle of water per day is not enough. 2. made a mistake at reception level which made me pay for a future room. Although initially upgrades as a compensation, the person should have been more careful before confirming my secretary had not paid the room.. when in fact 1st nigth had been paid. 3. My phone in the room was not working properly, even after maintenance visit to repair.
