10/10 Excellent
"We booked a club room with lounge access which was a lifesaver during Typhoon Dolphin where we were trapped for 2 full days inside the hotel. Food variety and drinks were plenty and of good quality. Only caveat is, when you stay over a week in the same hotel, the lounge food is the same day by day, no changes or other choice at all which gets boring. Besides the monotonous daily same choices, hotel is clean, staff are really nice and polite and everything is clean! We would come back again."
