Check-in

Upon check-in, I was given a welcome letter for diamond members. I was also informed I got an upgrade to a suite.

The rooms are actually located in another building so it was a bit of a walk.

CONCLUSION

This is a colonial style hotel which is located a bit out of the city. They do have the free shuttle to the malls (if available) but you can easily book an Uber ride to go to the Old Town. The room upgrade to a Junior Suite was very nice. The room was really spacious for myself haha! The executive lounge sadly has minimal food offering during happy hour. There were only 2 small servings of salad, meatballs and dessert. A couple came after me and just grabbed some popcorn and left. I asked the reception about the happy hour thing and was told that if nothing is being served in the lounge, then a guest can have 2 drinks and an appetizer from the breakfast restaurant. Overall, it was a nice stay and since I already explored the city in the morning, I just stayed at the hotel in the evening and was not affected by the not so central location.
