convenient locationeasy check-inbasic amenities
the location was convenient near many bus stops. self check-in and check-out were straightforward (a receptionist was available if i needed assistance). the hotel provided basic amenities like toothbrushes and razors.
i found that the lighting system was not optimal, because i could not turn on just the bed light.

The room was VERY clean. The staff seemed accommodating to all my needs. The location was close to a 7-eleven convenience store.
I found that the main switch turned off ALL the lights. I could not turn the bedside lights on. It was a faulty design. The sink drain had some problems.

The hotel is close to bus and train stations (very convenient for exploring). The rooms are very nice and neat. I liked that they cleaned the room and changed towels every day.
The breakfast sandwich provided was rather simple.
