“This property strikes me as a solid choice for business and solo travelers, given its strategic location and well-appointed rooms. I particularly appreciate the Le Méridien Club Lounge and rooftop bar, which elevate the experience beyond typical stays. The proximity to the wet market may be a drawback for some, but the hotel's interior comforts seem to outweigh this external factor.”
