mediocre stay near excel
leaking kettle dark room
The location was decent. It was pretty close to the excel centre, so that was handy for my event.
The room felt quite worn. the kettle leaked all over the counter when i tried to make tea. the room was also oddly dark even with all the lights on. It wasn't the most inviting space.

Comfortable Stay with Excellent Transport Links
coffee facilities lovely touch
The AC in the room was a lifesaver. I found tea and coffee facilities available in the room to be convenient. The complimentary cookies were a lovely touch. The location was great, and transport was right on the doorstep to get into the center.
The room was not cleaned after my first night. I found the same dirty towels left every day after nights two and three. I reported it, but no apology was given to me.
