It was a good stay in almost all material ways save the semi permanent protest area with chairs tables and protest signs as a result of employee firings at the main entrance. One should be aware that there may be a large protest against the hotel taking place at the one and only pedestrian entrance to the hotel on a day of your stay (as was my case).

On our first 1 hour, the toilet was not working and water was gushing from the bottom of the toilet. It wasn’t even from the top, toilet water was flowing on the whole bathroom floor! I complained to transfer us, but they said the engineer fixed the problem with the plunger so all is good for the house cleaning to clean the the floor the next morning. Unsanitary, not accommodating and I was hesitant to flush it afterwards, so we used the lobby bathroom instead. For the 4 star rating, I expected much better BASIC feature in a hotel room. A TOILET is basic, it reminded me of a horror movie but instead of blood, it’s toilet water flowing.
