Wouldn’t thought the 5 star hotel have poor amenities and cleanliness. The towel looks worn, poor bathroom lighting, stain in bathtub, the bed lamp is not function, the blanket dirty So we have to move to another room at around 2am.. Though The staff is very friendly and helpful We stay at 7th floor An advice would be a room renovation or before guests check in, there should be room inspection to check everything meet the 5star hotel requirements as I didn’t pay cheap to stay there
