Pleasant place to stay and very convenient.
Colin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

There is no one at check-in counter, no bell or no phone to catch the staff. We just needed to wait until someone notice. If you don’t have enough staff, you should put something which I can reach to the staff. Room was clean and nice tidy. Good point to having a choice of pillows. But there is no door for the bathroom…..
