the room was spacious and clean i noticed the river view was lovely. the hotel is connected to a shopping mall so it's convenient. the staff were friendly and helpful here.
the pool bar was not open until late afternoon i felt it was poor for a tourist hotel. there was no control over noisy children in the pool it was difficult to relax. i noticed some people spitting in the pool which was unhygienic.
