I also considered the Lotte and Pan Pacific, but the Savoy seemed to have more character than those two newer properties.

Overall, I was quite happy with the Savoy. It reminded me a bit of the Raffles Le Royal in Phnom Penh, albeit a bit smaller and perhaps not quite as nice.
What was the location like? It looks a little tired. While it has all of the features and amenities, they are fairly basic and not necessarily luxury. The woods are all slightly different colors and tone.
