Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel should prioritize a comprehensive renovation of the lobby, rooms, and carpets to address guest perceptions of the property feeling dated or "generations old."
- —Management should ensure door staff proactively assist with luggage and train VIP lounge personnel to be more attentive and engaged with guests.
- —During peak hours, the hotel needs better crowd management and should focus on improving staff energy and enthusiasm to prevent them from appearing overwhelmed or apathetic.

How we choose
Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
