Best staff ever”

We checked in at the hotel in an early morning and got the room right away (before the normal check-in time). We then went out for travelling around the city, and went back to Sun Plaza, where we lost our bag when leaving an electric taxi! We did not know how to do or even contact the taxi. We did not even remember the taxi's company or tel no., so we went back to the hotel and requested staffs to help, namely Marcus and Viet. They tried to help us immediately even if we did not tell them that we stayed at the hotel (so they did not know we are their customers). They contacted many electric taxi companies for us asking if they found the bag. Luckily, one of the contacted companies called back to the hotel, and told that the bag was found! A moment after that, the taxi went to the hotel and gave us back the bag untouched! We were very glad and gave the staffs some money for helping! This hotel is our course our first choice if I go there again!
