Pros:

Staff response to complaints; breakfast spread was good.

Cons:

The first room was not clean - dust on the table, unclean floor, toilet and clogged bathroom drain. The second room was spacious and comfortable but the toilet was not working. Breakfast options without onion / garlic could be better

Overall satisfactory, subject to above comments.
Pros:

Breakfast was fairly OK. Need to change varieties regularly. Room was OK.
The location was very convenient to attend to any work/engagements.

Cons:

Though the room (608) is identified as a Superior Panoramic Room, I could only see through the the windows the new building which is under construction. Need to reconsider the title of the room.

Could be better
Pros:

Breakfast was alright. Fair selection. Cleanliness was good.

Cons:

As the systems are now fully digitalised, they do not appear to function optimally. We were unable to use the tablet to control the TV, and the toilet activated automatically whenever we entered the room, which seems unnecessarily wasteful in terms of energy.

Pros:

The Property was well maintained, clean and the driveway had a old banyan tree provided ample shade and chillness. I also loved how all the employees were soft-spoken and composed.
