I booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child (1 queen bed and a double sofa bed). When checking in, I informed the receptionist that we had an additional 9-year-old child and was willing to pay any extra charge. However, the hotel refused to accommodate us and forced us to book an additional room, which was very frustrating and inconvenient. The extra room they gave us was on the third floor next to the elevator, and the sound insulation was terrible. We could hear everything from the hallway, and it made it very difficult to rest. Overall, the service was unhelpful, and the room quality was poor. I would not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.

Great location and interior design! The room is very clean and bathroom/shower/vanity locations are convenient. The stuffs are friendly and helpful which gave us 3 hours early check-in and 2 hours late checkout. We didn’t try the restaurant but it looks nice.
