The stay is great, love the hot chocolate at the lobby and the $50 credit that comes with the stay. even greater was the FIFA world cup contest that was going on. Love to commend Charlotte who is working at the cafe. She is very friendly and pleasant throughout my stay here. On the other hand, Jade is very unfriendly, who even rolled her eyes at me when I said "sorry?" as she mumbled when talking to me. I couldn't hear her at all and she looks like she doesn't even enjoy working there. Makes me feel like ordering food is even a sin there.
