Promises, Promises

I knew I had a problem when there was no parking when I arrived. Evidently, management does not check the plate numbers, so local F&B establishments take advantage; hence no parking in the PM despite 40% occupancy. Chose the hotel for "ample parking" despite its location, but there is parking available only in the mornings and evenings, so not easy to use the car to go out for lunch or shopping. Must stay out until the evening. Then, no internet on my PC in the room on 4 routers. Managed a connection with no bars (just the dot) to send off a couple of lengthy emails at one spot in the lobby. No images. Cell phone got a "dot only" connection in the room, 1 bar on the cell. Used the cell. Some other guests were using portable routers. Young staff was friendly but generally not knowledgeable beyond key tourist spots and therefore not helpful. Took a while to find a cafe with free wifi as most are closed during RMCO. Lots of promises, no action. At checkout: "Internet is working fine. No one is having any problems." Not! Several fruit flies in the room. At least a Mozzy, too, as woke up with three hives. Another guest was complaining of a dysfunctional toilet, though mine was fine. Such a shame - the physical plant is rustic but charming. Will not be returning any time soon.

From the cheerful welcome with a towel to wash your hands and a nice smooth lemongrass drink, to the amazing employees, we didn’t want to leave. Reveena, one of the front desk clerks, is the most delightful young lady and truly is an asset to the hotel. We had a complication with losing a phone and she worked hard to help us get it back, even stayed past her duty time. We are forever grateful to her. Our King suite was absolutely breathtaking and we couldn’t get enough of the friendly cats that are part of the hotel staff. ❤️

Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Easy access to bus. Be aware some bus drivers don't stop for whatever reason. I have 4 buses passed me and other tourists. I mean they act like they don't see you standing there with your hand waving them down. It is a problem for the foreign people who lives there as well but they say they report but nothing was done.

Regular rooms are rather small and dark and face a wall, though they have nice furnishings. As do all the public areas. The breakfast hot offerings were served tepid because the plates had been arranged in advance. Solution is to order the muesli. The pool was a delightful bonus for chilling after a long hot day. The staff were gracious and helpful. Our sink and shower did not drain very well. Nor did the sink in the room of a friend. We were moved one night to one of the rooms on the street side because of the drainage problems which had lots of light and room, and was absolutely lovely but would surely have cost twice the price had we had to pay for it. The hotel is a nice quiet location with easy access to nearby restaurants. Another bonus was the roof deck with a lovely view over the city.
