Asian Ruby Center Point Hotel

Very nice mostly English speaking staff, especially "William" who introduces himself at the very nice breakfast buffet. The room without a window (305) was actually nice. I was very close to the elevator and never heard it, thankfully. Some great beauty in this place

1 1/2 Google Stars out of 5. NO HOT WATER for the full 7 days of my stay. Staff explained they use "solar power" to heat the water AND it "takes awhile" to get to my room (305) so I should let the water run "about 5 minutes" before it will turn hot. By the last day I was literally allowing the water to run for a half hour, without any noticeable warming. On arrival (in the rain) at my previously arranged time in the evening, I had to take my four bags up the steep entry stairway without assistance. The doorman was in the lobby, giving his attention to an electronic device, not keeping an eye on the entryway. Because they required full prepayment of room rental charges, I felt trapped once I discovered the hot water problem. The room "without a window" (305) has a utility room window in that room which allows both constant light and occasional loud noise to disturb you. Mattress is too soft. Any talking in the hallway was too easily heard. The elevator is VERY slow, so be prepared to wait. Final flight of the stairway up to the breakfast area very cheaply renovated WITH A LOW CLEARANCE for tall people. I banged my head terribly the first time going up there. 1 1/2 stars may seem drastic, but hot water is mandatory, especially when the room rate is inflated in comparison to nearby properties.
