This was my first stay at a Jizhou-branded hotel, and overall, I had a great experience!
Most of the hotel staff were friendly and polite. For breakfast, you could order à la carte (with the option to add more dishes) or choose from the buffet. Most of the food was of good quality, and there were slight variations daily. The restaurant seating was comfortable, and staff were quick to clear plates and refill water. (My only complaint would be the drinks: the coffee/chocolate was quite average.)
Since it was my birthday, I contacted the hotel in advance and they kindly provided decorations, a cake, and two free drinks at the 2nd-floor bar – very thoughtful! The bar had a buy-one-get-one-free offer from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, followed by a live band performance after 8:30 PM. Unfortunately, I was already tipsy and missed the show.
The 32nd floor houses the infinity city-view pool, fitness center, Harnn spa, and observation deck. The spa was fully booked, so I had to make an appointment for the next day (it's best to book in advance). The environment was clean and comfortable, and the best part is they don't rush you through the whole process! (No wonder it's always booked; they allocate ample time for customers.) The massage strength was good, not just a dead push.
My room on the 20th floor had a decor I really liked, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views. I occasionally heard motorcycle sounds, but it was within an acceptable range. I've become a fan of the Byredo brand – the woody scent was subtle and non-greasy, absorbing quickly. The wooden ledge by the bathtub was perfect for placing my phone to watch videos!
Areas for improvement: I feel the hotel needs to step up its facility maintenance. Although it stated a renovation in 2023, you could see that the entrance, corners, flooring, and carpets looked a bit worn. There were also quite a few water stains on the bathroom vanity.
Most of the surrounding restaurants are Japanese. If you're craving Thai food, you'll need to go a bit further (the nearby options are generally mediocre). Shopping malls require taking transportation. There's a small 7-Eleven nearby, and outside of it, there's a delicious roti stall.
This hotel is great for those who enjoy a relaxed pace, but it's not ideal if you're looking for a shopping-centric trip!
