Positive: reception service people was nice.
Negative: The breakfast is too simple. Taxi experience is too bad. I asked the reception to order the taxi, the taxi driver looks unhappy when he saw I have 2 suitcases, and there was very dirty inside the taxi with bad smell. Hope hotel could find better taxi company for guests in the future.

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: In general, this was a clean and comfortable hotel in a nice area.
Negative: There was stinky, half-eaten leftover food in my refrigerator when I arrived. After asking the staff for it to be removed, 4 hours later it was still there. To their credit, the next staff member that I spoke to moved me to an entirely new room given the smell and my disgust. But this should have never happened to begin with and should have been fixed quickly.
Summary: Fine with a cleanliness misstep
