Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location
Negative: We had an incident where I showed them pics as well as called the housekeeping manager to see for himself that the room was not made at all, fresh towels were on the floor, washroom amenities were all scattered, coffee and tea replenishments were dumped as is in the tray, old, used mixing wooden stick was kept for next day but most troubling was that housekeeping manager was not apologetic. He was gentle but not ready to accept that this is an area of improvement and kept on saying that towels must have slipped from the stand.
Summary: Not bad, I can re-book it due to location and praying that housekeeping mishap does not happen again
