I'm a monthly tenant here. I accidentally burned my ID on the induction cooktop, filling the entire room with a plastic smell. So, I quickly booked a one-night stay here. I booked a newly renovated room, hoping to try out their new accommodations. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. I thought the new room would be more comfortable than the old ones. But honestly, new isn't always better; the old rooms are actually more comfortable. As a tenant in an old-style, monthly rental room on the 19th floor with a sea view, it's far more comfortable than the new rooms. Why? Because the new renovation smell is still present. The hallway carpet has a strong, unpleasant post-renovation odor, an indescribable smell. Opening the room, there was a strong glue smell from the renovation that still lingers. When I showered, I noticed some glue residue on the showerhead handle, which I had to scrub off my hands repeatedly with hand soap. I'd say the hygiene is just average. Although it seemed clean on the surface after the renovation, there was still a lot of dust, for instance, on a shelf above the toilet. The shower water pressure was strong, but sadly, the shower handle had a lot of glue on it. And throughout my shower, I kept smelling glue, which was very unpleasant. So, I don't recommend anyone stay in the new rooms. While the room is spacious and has an open view, the renovation workmanship isn't great. This renovation is essentially a copy of the Alexandra Hotel in Fortress Hill. The wooden materials and wall panels are identical, even the bed frame design is the same. It's truly the same group, using the same materials. Basically, the wood materials aren't very good, and the whole room just reeks of plastic. Overall, I can only describe this historic hotel as 'okay'.
