However, there were a few hiccups, like some housekeeping issues and a musky smell in one of the rooms. Overall, I left wanting to come back for more!

I recently stayed at The Residence for two nights and found it to be a mixed experience. On one hand, the staff were friendly and the ambiance was lovely, but several small issues, like room service discrepancies and meal temperature, brought down what should have been an really good stay. Overall, while some aspects were great, I was left wishing for better attention to detail in service and food quality.
