The room is very clean, the floor is so clean. I stayed at a lot of hotels before. Mostly they don’t care the floor, but our room at this hotel was very clean. They come to clean our room and the floor for 4 days during our stay. Thanks to the staffs.

Amazing stay and great value for money.
1-night trip

6/10

The bed in room 116 was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bed was painfully stiff and felt as if I was sleeping on a box spring, not a mattress. The room was smaller than I expected, but was acceptable overall. There was rust in the shower, but beyond that the room was clean and well kept.

3-night trip

8/10

Stayed for one night only. The check in process was quick and very convenient. The room was clean with a lot of shops nearby. My only issue was with the blinds and the sound of traffic. The blinds dont close fully and the hotel is near a highway. Overall, my stay was good. I would stay there again.
