Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel facility itself was great , was clean and staff courteous. What wasn’t great was the transportation system. One of the reason we booked this hotel was the availability of a shuttle bus. However, we were informed after the booking that the transportation was only available during select times.. 3 hours after we arrived after a 20 hour flight. Waiting 3 hours was not acceptable. We ended up renting a vehicle just to go to the hotel any having to pay for parking. This added expense, frustration was not something we had bargained for. Had we know this before hand . We would not have chosen this. As there were other hotels at a similar price point that provided feeler transportation.

The hotel was great but we were do upset when we landed when we say the shuttle didn’t run after 20:45. We landed at 11:00. Had to pay exorbitant Uber for $39.00 yo get there when it was advertised in your website for hotel that they had a shuttle! Then today when we went to check out soon, there is NO shuttle back to airport for connecting flight after 9:30. Now we will have to pay for Uber again. False advertising!!!! My husband and I always use Hotels.com for our many trips but will most likely go to other venues now after we have three more hotels booked with you for this trip to Singapore and Bangkok. Very mad and would like at least a few extra points to our account for this.

Shuttle is useless

Terrible first impression. They share a shot with two other hotels, in the time it took us to check in five other couples got out of paid autos, because the shuttles were totally unavailable Our choice was to wait 55 minutes for their shuttle or to pay $30. We paid $30. Don’t do it.

rooms were very nice, however they charge for parking $20, another $15 for parking up keep, so when I booked room with all the taxes the room rate was an additional $50. when booking a room the price should reflect aALL fees
