We booked the Premium King room for our stay and it was amazing. The room was quite spacious but slightly dirty. The bed was comfy and the staff were quick in providing service. As we booked the Premium King room, we were given special access to the Business Lounge for breakfast and dinner. The food in the Causeway Cafe (Not the business lounge) was average. Food options were very limited and tast...

Had a wedding anniversary staycation in the Premier King room. Fast and efficient check in. Comfortable room with a great view. Worth paying the extra bit of money for the extra space in the room. Also very convenient cos Mid Valley is literally at the doorstep. The walls are a bit thin cos I sometimes can hear the next room. But it is not too bad. Thank you for the little gift for our anniversary...

The only thing going for it is location. The room doesn’t seem very clean upon first entering, there were holes in the towel, hair strands in the shower and water stains on the desk. No early check in on fridays and weekends. We registered early but at check in time, we had to queue at another desk to get key cards and the desk was badly organized. We had to wait for 20 mins to get our room keys....

Initially given a room # 1421 and the moment I opened the door, the room smelled bad and stale. I immedia...

Mr Goh also waived off the room charges as we had to...
