The staffs are friendly and helpful. The interior of the hotel room was not appealing. It didn't feel luxury as the way how the lounge and lobby looks or how it was photographed.

It's a nice place, conveniently located and friendly staff. The WiFi was very spotty until they fixed it for the duration of our stay. Hot water was also intermittent, alternating between hot and cold in the mornings. Overall it's still a nice place to stay.
