    The Selfridge Suite was an extraordinary upgrade, showcasing spaciousness and comfort while the staff's really good politeness made a great impression. Breakfast was so great with beautifully presented tropical fruits and a wide selection, though dinner didn't quite meet the 5-star standard anticipated. The location was also ideal for our planned evening function, but the dining experience could use some enhancement.

    mismatched furniture
    uncomfortable bed

    Oh, the breakfast had me buzzing with the taste of homemade bread, and the cooked options were spot on! Plus, the restaurant vibe was cozy and inviting.

    While the ensuite was modern, the room had a hoarder's charm with mismatched furniture and one bed that felt more like a child's cot. Not quite the 5-star experience we'd hoped for!
