Century Hotel: Unforgettable US Stays Await!
Century Hotel: Unforgettable US Stays Await!… Or, My Slightly Chaotic, Often Opinionated, But Ultimately Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind that is Century Hotel. "Unforgettable US Stays Await!" they trumpet. Well, let's see if that rings true, shall we? I'm going in with a good dose of caffeine (courtesy of Century's Coffee/tea in restaurant – which, by the way, wasn't half bad) and an open mind. This thing's packed with options, which is both exciting and a little intimidating.
Let’s start with the basics, shall we?
Accessibility: Now, listen, I'm not disabled myself, but I really appreciate a hotel that gets accessibility. Century Hotel checks a lot of boxes here. They brag about Elevators, Facilities for disabled guests, and offer Wheelchair accessible rooms. That's a HUGE plus, folks. It shows they aren’t just paying lip service – and that matters, especially when you're traveling. Seeing that kind of commitment to inclusivity puts me at ease, makes me want to recommend them.
Cleanliness and Safety: Seriously, This is a Big Deal Now!
Alright, the elephant in the room. COVID-19. Let's address it. Century Hotel screams safety. They are like, obsessed. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. They really are all over it. I mean, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment, Rooms sanitized between stays … it’s impressive. Also, Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Like, strategically placed. I'm not exaggerating. I'm talking professional-grade sanitizing services and even the option to Room sanitization opt-out available. So, you can relax, hopefully, and focus on relaxing. You have Doctor/nurse on call and even First aid kit because, well, life happens. Hygiene certification. They take this stuff seriously. Kudos, Century Hotel. Very. Good.
Rooms: The Nitty Gritty
Okay, so the rooms. *Available in all rooms *: Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone (huh, that's a throwback!), Bathtub… you get the idea. It's a comprehensive list. I’m a sucker for Blackout curtains, because, sleep is sacred. The High floor was nice too. I like the Window that opens! It allows fresh air. They give you Free bottled water which is a lifesaver. And, the Internet access – wireless, aka Wi-Fi [free], was surprisingly decent. I mean, I could actually work (sort of) from my Laptop workspace. They also have Internet access – LAN, if you’re old-school.
The Room sanitization opt-out available? That's interesting. I appreciated the thoughtfulness. I went with it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Gastronomic Gauntlet
Here’s where things get… interesting. Century Hotel is a foodie paradise – or at least, it tries to be. Multiple Restaurants, a Bar, even a Poolside bar. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. Adequate, with a decent Asian breakfast option. Coffee/tea in restaurant was mentioned earlier, but it stands to mention it again. There’s Desserts in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, and Salad in restaurant. They have Vegetarian restaurants, and Western cuisine in restaurant and Asian cuisine in restaurant. A la carte in restaurant is available in case you don't want to eat the buffet. Room service [24-hour]. Snack bar is a must-have!
Now, a little confession: I tried to order Breakfast in room, but I was a bit late in the morning, and I missed it. My bad.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day for the Soul? Maybe…
Okay, this is where Century Hotel really shines. The Pool with view? Gorgeous. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? Huge. The Spa? Yes, please! I indulged in a Massage. It was heavenly. Body scrub, and Body wrap are available. There's a Sauna, a Steamroom, and a Spa/sauna. There's also a Fitness center for those who like to torture themselves. Foot bath! And Gym/fitness. They even have a Swimming pool. Whoa.
Anecdote Time: The Poolside Bliss (and a minor mishap)
Okay, here's a story. I decided to spend an afternoon by the Poolside bar. I ordered a fruity cocktail that, honestly, could have used a touch more… oomph. But the view! Magnificent. The sun, the water, the… wait. Is that a seagull diving into the pool? Yep. And it nearly splashed me. I jumped, spilling half my drink everywhere. Thankfully, I had Towels and some Bathrobes to clean up the mess! The staff were lovely about it, though, and quickly brought me a fresh drink (with oomph this time!). It's those little moments, the imperfections, that make travel memorable, you know? It wasn't perfect, but it was real.
On-Site Accessible Restaurants / Lounges: Another thing to check.
Services and Conveniences: They’ve Thought of Everything… Probably.
Daily housekeeping is a blessing. Concierge service? Helpful. Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Ironing service – all present and accounted for. They even have Cash withdrawal! They’ve got your basic conveniences covered. The Elevator made life easy for a non-disabled person. Safety deposit boxes are a plus, and the Doorman was helpful.
For the Kids: Family Friendly?
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal options show they’re trying. However, I didn't have children, so this area is a bit of a mystery to me.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
Airport transfer is a godsend. Car park [free of charge] is always welcome. Taxi service available. Valet parking.
Now, the Not-So-Perfect Bits:
- Missing Pets allowed: Not great news for pet owners. A real shame.
- The Happy hour was a bit meh: The deals weren’t amazing, and the atmosphere was a little…corporate.
- The Internet [LAN] availability: The old-school gamer in me was thrilled, but I doubt many people use this anymore.
- The Shrine: A bit random, but hey, to each their own!
Overall Impression:
Century Hotel is a solid hotel with some truly fantastic features. They prioritize cleanliness and safety, which is HUGE. Their commitment to accessibility is impressive. The Spa/Sauna is a definite win.
The Verdict:
Would I recommend Century Hotel? Absolutely. It's a good, reliable choice, especially if you want a clean, safe, and convenient stay with a little bit of luxury.
Final, Slightly Chaotic, Thoughts:
Look, no hotel is perfect. I've traveled enough to know that. But Century Hotel tries damn hard to please. And for that, I give them a thumbs up. It felt safe, it felt clean, and it felt…well, it felt like I could actually relax. And in the current climate, that's worth its weight in gold.

The Century Hotel: An Adventure in (Potentially Mild) Chaos
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Room Debacle (Maybe I'll Cry)
- 1:00 PM: ARRIVE at Century Hotel. Okay, first impressions are… well, mixed. The website photos are lying. It doesn't look quite as glamorous as the carefully angled shots suggested. The lobby smells faintly of old carpet and… optimism? I'm choosing to believe it's optimism. Check-in. Pray to the travel gods for a room that isn't haunted or directly above the ice machine.
- 1:30 PM: Room catastrophe (potential). The card reader is being difficult. The key won't work. Great. This is fine. I can breathe through this. Okay, deep breaths. The front desk person, bless her heart, is trying her best, but the system is fighting her. And the line is growing. I'm starting to feel those familiar pangs of travel-related anxiety. God, I hope it's not a room overlooking the parking lot.
- 2:30 PM: FINALLY in the room. Phew. Relief washes over me, and so does the sudden realization that I'm STARVING. Quick scan of the room: clean-ish. View: not the parking lot! Success! I'll take it. Seriously, I will. This isn't bad. Wait, is that a stain on the bedspread? I. Will. Not. Focus.
- 3:00 PM: Exploration Time! I head out to the lobby to explore, and I find my favorite thing in every hotel - the vending machines. The Century Hotel machine? Disappointing. No gourmet chips, no artisanal sodas. Just the classics. Fine. I'll take the Pringles and the overly sugary cola (sigh, I'm such a sucker).
- 3:30 PM: Snack Break. Now, to the real food – I'd been told there was a decent restaurant (that's what they all say, right?). I decide to take my chance and explore the hotel restaurant, and decide to get some food.
- 4:30 PM: I went to the hotel restaurant and ordered the most elaborate sandwich I could find: the Reuben. I have to say, it was good, the corned beef was soft an tender and they did a good job. I definitely came back with something new and exciting.
- 6:00 PM: REST. I decide to crash… I can't get enough sleep, but here I sit.
- 7:00 PM: Decide to have food.
Day 2: City Adventures & Emotional Support Pizza
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast, maybe. Hopefully something with, I don't know, actual fresh fruit? The complimentary breakfast better not be the usual sad continental spread. Ugh, the anticipation is killing me.
- 10:00 AM: Head to the City. Depending on where this Century Hotel is (and I haven't actually checked, have I?), I'll need transport. Taxi? Uber? Local bus? Whatever it is, I'll probably make a few wrong turns (hey, that's part of the adventure, right?).
- 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM: EXPLORATION. A wandering type. I'll inevitably get lost, stumble upon a hidden gem or two by accident, and probably end up talking to strangers. Honestly, that's where the real stories come from. I'm thinking museums, quirky shops, maybe a park for a good people-watching session. And of course, the local delicacies. I'll be hunting for the perfect slice of pizza. Because let’s be honest, every city has a "perfect pizza."
- 4:00 PM: The Great Pizza Quest Begins. The pizza should be worth it, I'd heard from the previous day.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner? Pizza, of course! If I'm lucky, I'll find a hole-in-the-wall place, run by a grumpy Italian who secretly makes the best pizza in the world. I'm prepared for a messy, cheesy, glorious experience.
- 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Back to hotel, rest and relaxation.
Day 3: The Hotel's Last Stand & A Sad Farewell
- 9:00 AM: Final Breakfast. I'm hoping for a better breakfast than yesterday. Please, universe. Provide me with something decent.
- 10:00 AM: Check Out (crossing fingers it's smooth this time).
- 11:00 AM: Goodbye Century Hotel. Honestly? I'm going to miss it, even with all its quirks. It's got a certain…charm. (Or maybe it's just the caffeine and the Pringles talking).
- 12:00 PM: Departure. Head for the airport, train station, or wherever my next adventure awaits. Hopefully, I'll have some stories to tell. And maybe, just maybe, a slightly better opinion of hotel carpet.
Post-Trip Musings (aka: The Emotional Fallout)
Okay, so the Century Hotel wasn't perfect. But that's the point, right? Life, like travel, is messy, unpredictable, and often hilarious. I'll probably remember that Reuben sandwich forever (and probably buy a few of those same chips!), and all the little imperfections – the wonky keys, the slightly-less-than-perfect decor – will become the memories that make this little trip so special. The Century Hotel? It may have been far from luxurious, but it left an impression. And honestly, that's a win in my book. Now, I’m already planning my next adventure. Where to next? Who knows. But wherever I go, I'll be ready for the chaos and the questionable carpeting with open arms.
