Hotel Starresort I

The prices have been updated, and I think the value is better now. The three service time options make it easy to fit in a visit, and since the fee is the same for every room grade, getting a nicer room feels like a lucky find. There’s an underground lot with a 2.1m height limit and only five flat spaces. Vehicles needing 2.3m clearance are allowed, but spaces over 5m wide or long are hard to get into. Backing in and then leaving without reversing is dangerous. Added August 2019: A third lot has added around five more flat spaces. It has no height limit, though it’s fully visible from Floor 16, so there’s no keeping parking there secret. The value is still great, especially with the member service and stamp card.

Room 107 had stairs inside, and the bed was sunk into the floor, so I ended up having to use a futon. There weren’t any outlets by the bed, so I needed about two extension cords. The free drinks were a pretty poor selection too.

I was worried they might be offering too much, lol, but this has become one of my favorite places. Room 105 was roomy, with a massage chair, a great bath, and even a sauna. They also give out Q-cards based on how many times you check in. The card works across all the group’s locations, so I’ll give another one a try next time.

We went in on a weekday afternoon. The first-floor lot was full, so we parked underground, where I found a bucket on the floor when I opened the door. It looked like water was leaking from the pipes rather than the roof. Inside the room, the sofa looked like it needed reupholstering, and she wouldn’t sit on it at all.
