very welcoming. relaxing. memorable smell. lively place
Pros:

the good fragrance smell in the whole space of hotel. it brings different experience compare with others. we do need a drink after a long drive, thanks for welcome drink at registration counter. night live music is enjoyable, made environment felt like active and alive, made people wanna stop by, sit down in the nice big couch and relax. the relaxing feelings bring great experience and memorable for short trip.

Cons:

bathroom is easily get wet. maybe put more bathroom towel. the smell of after using bathroom, takes long time disappear since it is an indoor bathroom. hope can improve ventilation. the room light switch is confusing, maybe put intrusction manual book or scan QR video of how to use.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Deteriorating Standards and Loss of a 30-Year Loyal Guest

To the Ownership and Management,

I am writing to express my profound disappointment following my recent stay at your hotel. My family has visited Hat Yai for nearly 30 years, and for three decades, we have stayed exclusively at your property. However, after our most recent experience, I can no longer justify returning.
While I am sympathetic to the post-pandemic challenges the industry faces, the decline in standards at your hotel has reached an unacceptable level. We paid SGD $1,450 for two rooms for three nights—a premium rate for Hat Yai—yet the experience was far from premium.

I would like to highlight the following critical failures:

• Substandard Housekeeping: The cleanliness of our rooms was appalling. The curtains were heavily stained, and the windows, mirrors, carpets, and toilets were clearly not cleaned to a professional standard. Additionally, the bed frames were unstable and noisy, affecting our quality of rest.

• Failed Breakfast
Service:
The breakfast experience was chaotic. Tables were left piled with dirty dishes, leaving no room for guests to sit or eat. This was not due to a lack of staff, but a lack of work ethic; staff were observed chatting in groups rather than clearing tables or assisting guests.

• Incompetent Service:

There is a clear lack of training and communication. At the Roti Canai station, the staff was unable to fulfill a simple request for an onion roti, providing the wrong food due to a total lack of guest interaction skills.
• Lack of Management: It is evident that there is no professional manager overseeing the floor. While cost-cutting measures may save money in the short term, the absence of leadership is destroying your reputation and alienating your most loyal patrons.
As a guest who has supported this hotel for a lifetime, it is saddening to see the property fall into such disrepair and neglect.

Great spa moment.
Pros:

The place was CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL, and CALMING. They provide full service, staff very attentive and polite. It was the most relaxing experience. Had full body scrub and massage. Worth it.
