dark roomunavailable bar
i found my comfort double or twin room non balcony room to be quite dark , lacking adequate natural light. this. additionally , the rooftop bar was unavailable on multiple occasions due to private functions , limiting access to hotel amenities. i felt this impacted the overall experience negatively , especially since i expected more from a hotel of this caliber.
