The location suited my city exploration. It was easy to access transportation and the city center. I liked the AMAZING breakfast spread. It offered MANY options.

I experienced noise from a nearby karaoke bar. I had trouble sleeping due to the loud music late into the night. The air conditioning did not cool the room enough.

The breakfast was quite good , with a decent selection of items available.

My room faced a street where a karaoke bar operated late into the night. The noise was quite loud and made sleeping difficult. I found it hard to get any rest because of it.
