inconvenient water stationssteep price

My stay had a couple of hiccups. The coffee situation wasn't ideal. I found only one normal coffee bag alongside two decaf ones. plus, i had to use water stations to fill a water jug, and apparently, the 2nd and 4th floors lacked these stations! it was a bit inconvenient. also, the price felt a little steep considering everything. I'm not sure the value quite matched what i paid.

great assistancepeaceful roomwater stationconvenient location

VJ, the concierge, offered amazing assistance and great recommendations. The hotel was conveniently located near transit. The room was peaceful because it was situated away from the main road. I was happy about the refillable water station since I hate buying bottled water.

I wish there were more shelves to store my personal items in the room...
