Convenient and Comfortable Stay

spacious room comfortable bed
The annex room i stayed in was spacious. It included sky tv, air-con, and a big shower and the bed was comfortable. I found the bathroom very clean and modern.
The menu had THE same items every day. The special board remained unchanged during my two-day stay, disappointing.
