I stayed here for 6 nights on a business trip. On arrival, there was some trouble with my room (no A/C, smokey smell, smaller than my first room....) and it took 3 tries to get it right. The staff came and moved me each time. Once settled in, I was quite happy with the concierge who helped me find some local spots. The location seems remote at first, but there are some interesting local places to the South and a foreigners hotspot to the east. Both are easy walking distances. Buffet breakfast was very good with lots of Western and Eastern choices. I had something different each morning and it was all good. I had access to the lounge, which was often empty. Food there was good with a good selection that changed from day to day. Staff was very attentive.
