The reception team instantly. Aiza, Kris, Adit, and Ruel were very helpful. They created a warm and cute atmosphere that continued throughout my visit. Mr Yousef, the head of security, ensured my stay was smooth and safe. I appreciated his professionalism.
The room lighting arrangements proved quite complicated and could only be controlled from one side of the bed.

The room size was huge, almost like an apartment! i especially loved the separate living area. It really helped me unwind after a long day of meetings. the breakfast buffet (i'm a big breakfast guy) had everything i could possibly want and more!
The highway noise was definitely noticeable, especially when i was trying to relax by the pool. the gym, while decent, could use a few more free weights. It felt a bit limited. finally, i found the service in the executive lounge to be a bit inconsistent at times.
