The rooms were pretty tight, but everything was very clean and comfortable. The only thing I will say is that the door stop was in the middle of the floor and we kept stubbing our toes on it! Otherwise great.

The room was quite small for 2 people. (Might’ve been my fault for not realizing that when I booked the stay). The air conditioner had to be running at really cold temps at all times of the day or it would get muggy in the room. The breakfast was really good and the staff were friendly.

Robert

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
First of all, the "bathroom" is not really a room as it is only separated by an ill-fitted glass sliding panel. There is simply no real privacy when you use the toilet. Second, our room wasnt cleaned for the first 5 days (it seemed there was only 1 cleaner and 3 managers telling her what to do). Third, we had a fire alarm in the middle of the night with no staff present. One guest said he spoke to staff and it was false alarm, but as it kept going, we went downstairs with most other guests only to find a single employee on the phone, but not sharing any information.

Z hotel is a great hotel with helpful staff. I did ask for an iron & board & was informed it would be broght up to our room, unfortunately this did not happen. I could have reminded them but we arrived in the evening & i was quite tired. The room was neat & clean but is small & difficult to move around for a 2 people.
