EXCEPTIONAL ❤️❤️❤️
Pros:

I loved the welcoming staff , they are friendly yet professional 🥰❤️. Assisted us with everything we requested. It was great to be at Premier Splendid. And my mom who uses a wheelchair was amazingly catered for even the shower in her room.

Cons:

I would advise the cleaning staff that especially on showers that they scribe the shower floor, it was slippery and that usually happens if the shower floor is not being scribbed/cleaned properly. Since there are many germs one can get from stepping with feet on that. I usually carry my flops 🩴🩴🩴🩴 to prevent this. But I forgot then. Then I was like let relax and trust that it clean 😕😕😏😏only to notice that it was slippery

Beautiful stay
Pros:

The way the rooms are designed….like modern apartments-styled. The staff was excellent and the location is great. The restaurant is great as well, and they have reasonable prices.

Cons:

There was machinery-sound like through out the night which was a bit unpleasant. Also most of the modern hotels now have bar fridges as well as microwaves. We bought food in their restaurant and it was difficult to eat it later when it’s cold
