quality selection direct access
The breakfast buffet had a quality selection of food. The hotel had direct access to a shopping center. This made getting necessities very easy.
The minibar only offered soft drinks with no snacks included. I think some snacks would have been appreciated.

really good stay , great services
clean rooms comfortable bed helpful staff clean lobby
The hotel rooms are super clean and cozy. i had easy check-in and check-out. the reception staff seemed helpful, and the lobby was clean and organized. the location is great because wafi mall is close. It has carrefour and vox cinema.
i ordered room service, and the first person who picked up the phone was rude and did not understand my dietary needs. she kept repeating that they didn't have what i needed without checking with anyone.

excellent room service patient manager uncommunicated policy extra fee
the room service was excellent and prompt! maria managed the kids club, and my grandkids loved going there daily after breakfast. she was very kind and patient.
During check-in, i had to upgrade to a one-bedroom suite. this happened because my daughter was not allowed in a beautiful room. This policy was uncommunicated. the unexpected change cost an extra fee per night, though we did not get club access.

inconsistent stay
hidden policies unexpected charge
the room had a beautiful panoramic city view, so that was acceptable.
I was annoyed during check-in because i was forced to upgrade to a one-bedroom suite, this was because my child was not allowed in a beautiful room. this unexpected change cost me an additional amount per night, and despite this charge, we did not even get club access. it felt completely unnecessary
