Second time I"ve stayed there. Despite the doors facing the outside, I feel safe and it's so clean and modern. Staff are generous and kind. The free breakfast is amazing. Robot coffee machine and waffles...and a breakfast steward to help you with anything you might need.

I regret to leave this slightly negative review here. On the last day before check-out, my room was not cleaned. One clerk explained that it was due to the system being down, while another told me they don’t offer cleaning the day before check-out. These inconsistent explanations were a bit confusing and frustrating. A manager assured me they would be in touch to resolve the issue, but unfortunately I haven't received the follow-up. I’m sorry to leave this message here, but I hope the hotel can work on improving its communication and service.
