I loved the facilities including the pool, gym and cafe. The convenience was excellent with lots of dining options and cafe, and close to everything. The room was clean and well maintained, with also many convenient and thoughtful features like USB powerpoint and an alarm clock with wireless charging station. The view was amazing as well, not to mention that we paid extra for the view. Only the cleaning side was a bit disappointing… housekeeping staff forgot to clean the toilet bowl often, and it was left open. When we woke up late and the first round of cleaning was not done, housekeeping wasn’t done until 5pm when we come back. Other than this, we enjoyed staying.

Lovely location and views
We stayed at the Horizon Suite - the views are beautiful. Service at the reception was also excellent. A fair few things to improve on: 1. The hotel furniture/washroom fixtures etc all seem very dated and need immediate upkeep. Even very quick fixes like chipped drain blockers seem to be missed 2. The bedroom of the horizon suite was really small; much smaller than other suites I have stayed in and didn't have a TV or even enough plug points to charge electronics. It's one of the hotel's more premium rooms so it definitely should have these amenities. 3. The pool area washrooms similarly need urgent renovation - there were towels scattered all over the floor which made it look more like a public toilet than a Shangri-la washroom! 4. Service at the breakfast restaurant was subpar. We had ordered the barista made coffee and were in a rush - the lady serving us seemed annoyed to have the extra work. Even really simple things like bringing the bill to our table Vs asking us to go to the counter mid breakfast to sign for our coffees..
