BLUE SKY HOTEL LTD

BLUE SKY HOTEL LTD

8/10 Good
"I’m not sure if it was the heat, but most of the staff seemed off—aside from a few who were pleasant. The general attitude felt a bit nonchalant. When I got to the restaurant, it was extremely hot, so I asked for the AC to be turned on. They did, but it was still uncomfortable, so I requested a fan as well. At that point, I felt like I was becoming a bother. The gentleman in the restaurant seemed annoyed, ignored me, and walked away. Eventually, one of the receptionists noticed what was going on and kindly asked me to move closer to a fan that was already on. The whole situation felt a bit like pride getting in the way. Overall, the stay was still worth it. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the AC was very noisy."
