The heating/aircon in the rooms doesn’t work properly and cant be adjusted in the room - I have to ask reception to adjust which is inconvenient and they often forget to do it. This is an ongoing issue with the rooms and often mean it’s uncomfortable for sleeping. Also most recently there was no hot water for a morning shower. As a regular customer I’m becoming less likely to stay at this hotel due to the room aircon/heating issues.

Not the same as my first good experience

I have stayed here before and had good experiences, however this time when i checked in the system wasnt working for check in or room service app. I was charged $150 of room service and bar drinks that i didn't have - these were sorted out but things shouldnt be charged to my room without my knowledge. Also you need to have a selection of pillows - some high and low, the pillows are way to high and i get a sore neck when i stay here. Not sure i will continue to use this as my business trip hotel. wasn't as impressed as first time around.
