The breakfast buffet offered a LOT of options. I appreciated the availability of tea and coffee in reception throughout the day. It was really convenient and a nice touch. The staff were SO kind and helpful in every way.

The location was somewhat difficult. It was hard to get to with a taxi. It is in a small alley.

strange smell poor insulation

the front desk staff seemed helpful.

my room had a strange smell each night i stayed there. the windows did not insulate well, so outside smells like french fries got in. this made it very hard to sleep. also, the air conditioning wasn't strong because of the windows. it had to run all the time to keep the room at a good temperature, which wasn't very comfortable.
