cute team good breakfast spacious room narrow entrance difficult navigation no aircon

The front desk team was very cute. Breakfast had a good spread and the staff were ready to help. The room I stayed in was spacious and well kept.

The parking garage entrance was quite narrow. It was difficult to navigate with a bigger car. the room lacked air conditioning. It became uncomfortably warm.
