The location was acceptable. A bus stop was just outside.

The room was dark. I seemed like i was trapped in a cave. to make matters worse the lighting was awful, and i really hate dark spaces, it was almost prison-like. the pillows were terrible too. I woke up with neck pain every morning.

convenient and stylish stay

laid-back atmospherehelpful staffconvenient locationprivate entrance

the hotel's lobby had a fun, laid-back atmosphere. it was a good place for breakfast or to eat food you brought. the staff were quick and always ready to assist. a 7-eleven is conveniently located directly underneath the hotel, (it even has its own entrance near the hotel exit).

the room felt quite dark, possibly due to the wall colors. i also noticed the absence of a refrigerator, which would have been helpful.

great locationhandy 7-elevendark roomno fridge

the location was fine. a 7-eleven right next door came in handy, i suppose.

The room, a double room, was very dark. all the walls were black, and the lights were dim, it was pretty depressing. also, there wasn't a fridge. That was annoying.
