from the moment we stepped foot in the hotel it felt like a more upscale experience. we were greeted with a hot cup of flavorful tea and fruit snacks, which was absolutely perfect considering anytime you travel it's an endeavor so it's nice to be welcomed warmly as you check in. the hotel itself was beautifully decorated (indochine, art deco, soho) and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when needed. our room was clean and well furnished. our room was also upgraded via expedia vip perks. we did not have a chance to check out the spa, but there was one in-house. hands down best location! it was walking distance to the lake, cathedral, shopping and weekend night market. everything was great and we would absolutely book again, but if i had to mention something they could improve on it would be the hotel had a good selection for breakfast, but many of the hot buffet items were low or dried out by the time we made our down roughly around 8-9am. had we gotten up earlier i'm sure it would have been fine, but who wants to get up early while on vacation? with that said, we very little to gripe about and had an absolutely wonderful stay!
