While it was clear that hotel has not been renovated for some time, the suite was in a good shape, air conditioning was running fine, and everything was clean. A fruit plate was already in the room when we arrived.
The lounge is on the 13th floor and it is open from at least 7 am in the morning for breakfast. It was never crowded during our stay. On the first night there was only one other gentlemen during the Happy Hour (5-7 pm). Breakfast is in the lounge and they will cook eggs for you. There are also plated cold cuts in the fridge (nova lox, cheese, etc.), yogurt, a few hot dishes including a local one, pastries, juices, cut fruit, etc. It is not very big selection but they did a good job of rotating the dishes. Evening selection included 2-3 hot dishes, and cheese, cold appetizers (e.g., California roll) in a fridge, and different sweets like mini slices of cheesecake, etc. Two white and two red wines, Tiger beer, Red Label, branded Vodka and Gin were typically available for self-service. On some nights the selection was just O.K. but you can order food from the hotel Japanese restaurant and it will be delivered to the lounge - we did this one day. On the last night the selection was excellent and especially seafood bolognese, which was quite spicy and I liked that!
Overall, we enjoyed the stay - it is very solid offering for Category 1.
Is there some sparkling wine available?
