mixed experience, some misses for the price

unfulfilled requestpoor service
the service was not what i expected from a hotel at this price point. i contacted the front office manager with a specific request before arrival. it was about removing mugs and uht milk from the room and replacing them with tea cups and fresh milk.. this request was confirmed via email, but it was not fulfilled upon arrival. it took multiple complaints to rectify the situation, frustrating.

I stayed at this hotel, and the location proved very convenient. The executive lounge access was a nice perk. The hotel had a luxurious look that I definitely enjoyed.
Our room overlooked a demolition site. Loud jackhammers went from 7 AM to 5 PM. This was awful and unacceptable. The floor common area had a rather stale smell.
