The urban area is not big, so it's very convenient to go anywhere. You can walk to the night market, the beach, and there is a WWS nearby. But for those who are not so lively, it is recommended to avoid this hotel on weekends. It's downstairs on Friday night. In the middle of the night, the loudspeakers and singing and dancing make it impossible to sleep until two or three o'clock.

Staying for four days, the electric drill will sound around 7.30 in the morning on the third day, and the electric drill will sound at 8.40 on the last day, reminding you not to sleep late

ad attitude to cleaning the room. Some room cleaning staff were excellent and some were just atrocious. In general the hotel seems to be poorly managed by a receptionist

The hotel was good. A little outdated. We could smell the humidity in the halls and rooms. The breakfast was excellent and the location perfect.
