The reception area had a fine design. The staff seemed open and cute. The rooftop pool was a great advantage compared to other nearby options. The rooftop pool allowed a very relaxing experience.

The food selection at breakfast seemed somewhat limited. One morning, the fresh coffee machine wasn't working, a bit inconvenient. Seats in the dining area had some visible stains.
