i found the staff at the hotel to be very friendly. They provided all our requests promptly. Ms. Raquel helped us a lot and at our event. Mr Saeed, Ms. Jack, Jiya, Salman, and Mr Roy were also very helpful.
the tv and kettle were not working. there was no hot water. very loud music was audible. the reception did not answer the phone on my first attempt. i wanted to extend my stay, but the reception said they did not have a room. they offered a late checkout for the price of one full night, not convenient.
