AAnonymous UserThe room was clean and I liked that the bathroom was a shower not a bathtub. More convenient and easy to use. The bed is very comfortable, I really like the quilt cover instead of the form of a single quilt cover.

GGuest UserA very normal hotel in the United States. The room is normal without too many fancy items. It just provides a comfortable environment for a good night's sleep. The bed is 1.8 meters long and very comfortable. There is a big difference with domestic hotels. The same group and the same brand, the difference between domestic and foreign hotels is huge. Chinese people always say how bad domestic star hotels are, how the supporting facilities are not perfect, the breakfast is not rich enough, etc. I have a chance to see what you will criticize after staying here.
