The bed was very comfortable, but the room was very small and so was the bathroom. Also, the fact that food wasn't available in the hotel is inconvenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, though. It would be a good place to stay for people who don't mind very basic hotel accommodations.

Standing out is the convenience/location of the hotel and the cleanliness. The staff is also helpful, but there is little to help as there is no breakfast not dining option in the hotel.

The excellent location regarding transportation, restaurants/eatery, and shopping. The hotel manager, who was at the front desk in the morning, was very generous, but crews in the afternoon were rather lazy. Any inconveniences were attended timely.
