Considering US prices, this room rate is really cheap. There's an unavoidable resort fee of $29.35 USD (including tax) charged daily. So, you should definitely make full use of the in-room coffee machine and the gym upstairs (though I didn't use either, even though the coffee was Starbucks – I just went across the street for my Starbucks fix). At check-in, they put a hold on my credit card for a deposit, the exact amount of which I wasn't sure of. Based on my credit card notification, it seemed to be roughly the same amount as the total resort fees for my stay, rather than the standard $100 per day. (I asked, and they genuinely don't accept cash for the deposit, so no need to exchange too much cash; I just used my card for everything). You do have to go to the front desk daily for bottled water. But I thought the front desk staff were all really nice! Especially one slightly older but very elegant Caucasian gentleman. That's because I kept pestering them about the deposit amount and then, at check-out, I kept asking for a receipt for it, haha. In reality, the amount they put a hold on at check-in isn't actually charged. They only charge you after check-out for the resort fees multiplied by the number of days. You can still ask for a breakdown, and it's just $25 + $4.35 per day. No need to worry about waiting for a deposit refund to show up on your bank statement. Also, storing luggage on the first floor costs $2 per piece.
The hairdryer is wall-mounted, but it's not like those weak ones; it's quite powerful enough. The showerhead is also fixed, not a handheld one, which made washing a bit difficult. The sink faucet for hot and cold water is very responsive; for someone from a warmer Asian country who was nearly frozen outdoors, it was great not to be surprised by the water temperature from the sink.
