Memorable surprise birthday stay for wife
Pros:

An awesome undertaking facilitated by professional staff at both the restaurant and the hotel. Teh serenade by the restaurant team while carrying the cake and presenting it to my wife was awesome. The surprise escort to the room was exquisite. We had an upgrade from a standard to an Executive room to top it up. Kudos

Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised at how much consideration the Radisson had for my sister who was observing the month of Ramadan, they had a special menu for meals in the morning at 4am I've very well traveled and we have never had so much consideration before. It gave a special sense of care and meant a great deal. Staff were friendly and kind.

Cons:

The food selection at the hotel restaurant was a little limited maybe some more added options to explore.
