This is my second time staying in the Emerald. Large space as always！Friendly staff as always! One thing to mention, I have left my SM Pad in the room! The friendly staff called me and told me how to arrange a return bag to collect the Pad! The hotel kept my pad safe for a few days until I completed my trip to arrange for the return bag to collect it! Much appreciated!

Unfortunately, our stay had several issues. Parking was very poor, and the room was extremely noisy. Not all curtains were present, which affected privacy. There were also belongings left behind from the previous occupants, and the bath was extremely dirty—we had to clean it ourselves, and the cloth turned brown. The plunge still contained half-made coffee from a previous guest. Additionally, the room window would not close due to something being stuck in it, which we had to fix ourselves. On a positive note, the staff were generally friendly, especially the older male porter, who was very helpful and pleasant.

Disappointing stay. Room was not clean, stale air, toilet brush was DISGUSTING. Hairs all over the room particularly the bathroom. Airconditioning not working well, for a particularly hot week was stifling in the morning (beautiful sun through windows but the heat in the room became unbearable by 8am even with doors open! We requested attendance to all of these issue which were not rectified. No offer of change of room.
