the room featured two sinks and a spacious rainfall shower. daily housekeeping kept everything super clean, i appreciated the attention to detail. a direct connection to wafi city mall offered convenience. the outdoor pool had ample sunbeds for everyone.

i found that the elevators, given the building's height, could be a little slow at times. it wasn't a major issue, but something to be mindful of during peak hours.
