broken climate controluncomfortable pillows
The climate control in the room was broken. A technician said it was beyond repair. The room became uncomfortably warm. The pillow selection was also disappointing. Despite a pillow menu, my requests were unmet. The provided pillows were excessively large and uncomfortable.
i like the hotel location. it was amazing with tons of restaurants and shopping right downstairs. the housekeeping is so nice and customer focused. i especially thank khun win aung for the cleanliness and attention.
the bathroom door handle was installed incorrectly. the opening and the closing of the door felt challenging.
