Pros:

The hotel is well spaced out. The reception area is beautiful and welcoming. The front desk staff are very helpful and courteous. It offers good breakfast options. The room was exceptional. It has a plaza nearby and restaurants walking distance from the hotel. Food can be ordered in. It is very close to the LRT.

Cons:

There is no safe deposit box in the room. Did not feel comfortable leaving valuables at the front desk for safe keeping. The rooms are not inspected to ensure all is working. The Keurig coffee machine in the room was not working, and when reported, we were told it was broken. The sink by the coffee station had food scraps, and the plug for the drain in the bathtub was loose. We reported all these issues to the front desk and were quickly resolved. Also the hotel does not provide shower caps. This should be a standard offering.
