6/10 Good

The cleanliness of the room was not great on arrival, very stained carpet, couple of marks on the bed sheets, and a drain smell from the shower. Bed was actually pretty comfortable and room was quiet. There was a problem at check-in, the hotel had not received our booking, but they sorted this pretty quickly.

10/10 Exceptional

I had booked in doubts, but was pleasantly surprised, all lobbies were clean and decent, spacious and good airflow, reception staffs we warm and welcoming, my room was upgraded for no reason, which made my 3yr old very happy, property was in a god location to lots of restaurants and fun places. Downside is no tea & coffe in the room, which wasn’t helpful for a tea drinker while working at night & I had a child who needed warm water. Was only there on business for 2 nights so we just managed , I will be coming back it was very convenient we didn’t even use any AC or heating we were warm enough despite the rain

Front desk staff were great but business is kinda strange. Checkout is 10am, there was a sign that said no alcohol consumption in room, the room was quite warm but central air didn’t really work. Also toilet smelled kinda off and saw that there was feces in water in the toilet brush. But the container was attached to the wall so see how it’s difficult to clean for the cleaner. A lot of chain hotels are similar so these little details make a&o stand out in a bad way
