"This is my third time staying at this Shangrila hotel. The location is perfect and the service is excellent. The checkin staff (a gentleman sorry I couldn’t see his name without my glasses :( ) was very helpful. He remembered my name and birthday. They sent a birthday cake on my birthday to my room, which was a nice surprise. Thank you!"
