Our check-in was easy and seamless, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. However, our room was unacceptably warm for most of the evening, despite a technician confirming that everything was in working order. The walls of the bathroom were also alarmingly dirty in a few spots. There was also no printed information of any sort in the room that we could find-no area guides, no information about hotel services or amenities, or anything else. We tried the dedicated channel on the tv for that information as well, but didn’t find it there either.

Great views but a stain on the Raddison brand. Very tired rooms and the restaurant is a disaster. Had bug in bed in first room. Tepid food had to be returned in Tabu. Could only offer vanilla ice cream and Brown sauce "out of stock". Laughing stock more like. Pleasant front desk staff though.

Decent place but AC in room was weak, had to prop the window open with a spoon, and laundry service was abysmal. But other than that it was just fine. Restaurant/bar was good. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
