Acceptable Stay, but Concerns Exist
good varietydemagnetized keysunhelpful staff
The breakfast offered a good variety of options.
The room keys demagnetized constantly. I had to return to reception repeatedly. This was inconvenient.
The location was convenient, especially with the walkway to the mall. the staff consistently provided quick responses and helpful service! i found the room spacious, providing enough space to relax and unpack my belongings. The bed was large and comfortable too.
The limited number of accessible power outlets in the room was not ideal. I would have liked more options near the desk
