my room was large and it had a direct view of the sea. the very nice sunsets could be seen right from my window. the hotel is close to several shopping malls and the seaport terminal.
the air con in my room was too cold. the vanity counter wasn't designed well, causing water to leak into the drawers. these drawers contained drinking cups and tea bags, and that was not ideal.
