Everything was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. The only thing is they don't have a belhop service or luggage carts to help you carry your luggages to your rooms. We had to bring five luggages up to our rooms ourselves. Their beds were a little too firm. I'm a side sleeper and it gave me a bit of discomfort when I've been sleeping on one side for a while.

The hotel is very accessible to everything , very clean , staff are nice and courteous. The only downside in this hotel is they don’t have airconditjoning during winter time and the front desk staff affirmed it , only heater. We turned off the heater as it was hot when it’s ON , we frequently open the window just to get some cool air. Other than that the hotel is very nice, i miss their pillows. I would stay again at this hotel at summer time when the air conditioner is ON.

The check- in was quick, the front desk staff was nice. But there are a couple of downsides, no luggage carts, we had to unload a dozen of big luggages from the airport van and load them again in the elevator in two trips.
