Excellent Stay with Minor Hiccup
warm welcome clean room fountain views
The breakfast offered many options, and the team at Anise gave a warm welcome. The check-in process was smooth with Joy, who was very lively at the front desk. The room had all details perfected, and it was very clean. I appreciated the pool and enjoyed fountain views.
The service declined from previous visits. I found the room service substandard. An elevator was non-functional for days. Customers had to wait up to half an hour to use the elevator. The restaurant food and service was not as good as expected.
