This is a truly remarkable place. You might be taken aback initially by the vintage decor suggesting old age but it soon becomes clear how much the owner and staff care about the place. Everything is spotless: not a speck of dust on the surfaces, not a single fingerprint on the many, many mirrors in the lobby. Same goes for the room where I found a dual-band wifi router, a brand new-looking aircon unit, flat screen TV, kettle, plenty of hangers in the wardrobe, immaculate bedsheets and the usual complimentary coffee and tea. I was a little underwhelmed by the bathroom at first. The bathtub was a little narrow and the toiletries consisted of three soap bars and three single-portion shampoo pouches, but they turned out to be pretty good products, better than the ones in fancy mini bottles and safer and more hygienic than big dispensers, so no complains there either. The safety box in the lobby was less convenient than an in-room safe but probably more secure since it required two keys to open. It was also accessible 24/7. But what truly made me a future returning guest was housekeeping. Within minutes from calling, three petite cleaning ladies knocked at my door and turned over the room with the focus and coordination of an Olympic team. The Promenade might not look fancy but it sure is a great place to stay.
