helpful staff nearby restaurants river proximity weak shower scarce beds long walk
The hotel is very close to the river. There are many restaurants nearby, i found it easy to find good meals. The staff were all very helpful (i was very impressed).
The shower lacked power and took longer than expected. There were not enough beds near the pool. I noticed a long walk from reception to my room, down and up stairs with luggage.

perfect location friendly staff late flight
The location was perfect. It allowed me to easily travel around. the staff was friendly, especially since i arrived about three hours before check-in. i also had a late flight, so the facilities available after a full day exploring the city were useful. the pool area is really nice!!!
I found the shower in the room dreadful. It lacked power. it took twice as long to shower properly. this was an inconvenience.

Fantastic Stay!
convenient location helpful staff
I totally loved the location, super close to chinatown and little india. breakfast rocked and the staff were so helpful. We really enjoyed having a bunch of amenities to use. this visit was amazing and we are totally planning to come back for another stay.
The shower really lacked power. It took forever to properly shower. this made mornings a bit of a drag, but everything else was still great (besides that, it was great!).
