Writing Formal Complaint Regarding Unsatisfactory Hotel Stay.
Pros:

The gym was available 24/7 but it would have been perfect if the room has a better ventilation as it was a bit stuffy in the room.

Cons:

Writing
The room floor and the chair were extremely dirty to the point that we could not even comfortably sit in the room. In addition, I had to stop my shower midway because the drainage did not work properly and the water would not drain at all.
Unfortunately, the check-in experience was also disappointing. The front desk staff member, Fathmah, appeared to rush me through the check-in process and even attended to another guest in the middle of assisting me, which felt unprofessional and discourteous.
The most difficult part of the stay, however, was the constant construction noise and the extremely bright lighting positioned directly in front of the suite throughout the entire night. We were unable to sleep properly at all. As this was a business trip, the lack of rest significantly impacted our ability to function the next day and made the overall stay very stressful and exhausting.
In addition, the surrounding area of the hotel felt unsafe and uncomfortable due to the large number of homeless individuals gathered nearby, which further added to the overall discomfort during our stay.

Pros:

The staff were friendly

Cons:

The room smelled strongly of mould.
Also, many intoxicated guests at 4pm on a Wednesday acting aggressive and rowdy.
We checked out our room and went down to cancel our stay and get a refund.

3 stars would be more accurate. Bed and shower comfy, rest is not 4-star worthy
Pros:

Bed and pillows were comfortable and the shower was great.

Cons:

Don’t know how this hotel attracts some bottom of the barrel people. The aircon is a window shaker unit, the rooms are noisy. I don’t know how this hotel got 4 stars. 3 at best is more accurate

Pros:

The receptionist was friendly and welcoming. The hotel offers a shared business room and a public game room, which are nice amenities. The mattress was very comfortable, but unfortunately the early morning noise affected the overall sleep quality

Cons:

The air in the room felt quite stuffy, and the kitchen does not have a ventilation fan. There was also no toaster available. The bathroom faucet was quite loud, and the toilet ventilation was weak. Even with the windows closed, a lot of noise came from the street. Early in the morning, there was noticeable noise from industrial vehicles and garbage trucks. Since the parking area is behind the building, it was quite noisy in the mornings, even on weekends, which made it difficult to sleep well.

Very poor room service
Pros:

Very slow and indifferent room service staff .Had to ask staff to clean room at 430 pm. They told me they had to clean the rooms where guests had checked out first. Lucky to have my room cleaned by 530 pm
