Acceptable stay, but some issues noted
cigarette smoke nightclub music
The room reeked of cigarette smoke. It was quite unpleasant. The noise from nearby establishments was also bothersome. Music from a nightclub persisted late into the night, hindering sleep. I expected better soundproofing. I found the overall experience to be less than satisfactory due to these disturbances.

comfortable and convenient stay
good experience ramadan decoration well-spiced food good service
i had iftar at aroma restaurant and it was a very good experience. i noticed the restaurant was decorated beautifully for ramadan. the food was well-spiced and satisfying (i really enjoyed the dessert selection). i especially want to mention the good service i received from juanito and melanie.
the music from downstairs was quite loud and went on until 3am. i did find that a bit disruptive.
