Staying during the National Day holiday, the hotel prices were doubled.
The room decor was a bit too minimalist, which was a minus.
At 42 square meters, it didn't feel that spacious. Compared to other Marriott or Shangri-La hotels of similar size (around 40 sqm), it felt a bit cramped.
The mini-bar was complimentary on the first day, offering juice and beer, but there was no plain drinking water.
The most unacceptable part was the poor soundproofing.
Next door was a family of three, with a school-aged boy. Their boisterous laughter and chatter could be heard frequently, both in the evening and in the afternoon. One night, the noise continued until almost 11 PM, disturbing our rest.
Furthermore, in the early mornings, intermittent banging sounds would emanate from the room. It wasn't piercing, but quite loud, as if someone was cleaning discreetly right next to you, yet still making banging noises.
The hotel had notified guests about recent curtain wall cleaning. Could the sounds be from the operating platform or ropes hitting the glass? I didn't notice anything from outside during the day.
Finally, let's talk about the good points.
The unbeatable sea view.
The bathroom was very clean, and the amenities were excellent.
The hotel staff were all very polite.
However, I will not be staying here again. While I might not encounter noisy neighbors again, poor soundproofing is a major drawback, and quiet is very important to me.
