We checked in around 3 PM+ as per the hotel information. However, we were misguided, we went up and down 2 times, and 2 times, the rooms weren’t ready and uncleaned 😞. We do understand the hotel has only been operating for 2-3 months. However… the first time we went back down, I did mention to the front desk, when they handed us a new key which was the room right across the one we had to come back down for, also had a “clean up” tag, which probably meant it was still uncleaned. But maybe the staff was a tad panicked so they weren’t really listening to what I was saying, so I went up again anyways, and it was true, uncleaned, hence we went back down.
The reason given was, they were full and understaffed. I’m sure with better training and communication between staff would have helped better.
A little advice, if situations as such happens, since the hotel do not have an F&B outlet that could “compliment” guests that may be dissatisfied, I would suggest either an upgrade of room type OR a discount voucher for a next stay. We were offered “if it is possible tomorrow we might be able to give you a late check-out”. (We love the effort although it still gives us guests a possibility to feel dissatisfied again, if turns out the rooms are full the next day & end up not being able to have the complimentary late check-out). Hopefully it does not happen often, and we were just unlucky. My husband & I didn’t really take it too seriously but I could imagine if someone who’s super exhausted wanted to rest & had to go through that 🥺.
However, the place itself was good, clean & all the soaps and shampoos smelled great. Also the lobby smelled great.
Anddd maybe another thing, since the lobby is small, while we were waiting, as hard as it is, during frustrating times like that, it is best to really try & hold the upsetment because we can hear clearly😭 But I do understand that it is a quite frustrating time for the team to have to deal with the situation.
