“I found that the air conditioning and daily linen service were definite pluses, especially given the price point. The location's proximity to the old town and a convenience store is indeed convenient, though I did note a cigarette odor that sometimes drifted in from the top floor. Overall, it strikes me as a budget-friendly option with a solid location, if one is willing to overlook the occasional smoke.”
