"The room wasn't very spacious, but the river view was a plus. However, the facilities were quite lacking. The moment I walked into the room, there was a strong smell of smoke that even opening the windows couldn't clear. I had to ask the front desk for an air purifier on the second day, which really should have been taken care of before guests checked in. Also, the room suddenly made a strange, loud noise, like a pipe bursting. When I called guest services, the engineer said it was because the air conditioning in the next room was on. It's ridiculous that the air conditioning in one room would affect the neighboring one. Furthermore, the cleaning staff threw away my empty beverage bottle without asking if I needed it, even though I specifically bought that glass bottle to use as a cup. When I called guest services, the cleaning staff brought it back, claiming they thought empty bottles were useless and that it was on the shelf, which was a blatant lie. And then the hairdryer was broken; I had to call guest services twice because they seemed to disbelieve me the first time. Throughout all this, the hotel offered no apologies whatsoever. On a positive note, I want to commend the bellhops – those young gentlemen were attentive and very friendly. Thank you to the bellhop guys! 🌹"
