The room was super nice, as a solo traveller I really enjoyed it, however if you are staying with a friend or family instead of a partner it can be awkward as there is not a lot of bathroom privacy, however overall the hotel was super nice

Do not stay here. This was the grossest hotels I’ve stayed in. The room looked nothing like the photos and all the walls and surfaces were dirty. The bathroom was disgusting with a brown stained toilet and the whole room smelled like mold.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had several issues during my stay at this hotel. Unfortunately, the blanket in my room was dirty and had visible bloodstains, which was unacceptable. Additionally, the reception staff struggled to communicate in English, making it difficult to address concerns or ask for assistance. Lastly, there was no daily room service provided—our room was only cleaned once during a five-night stay. Overall, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and service, and I hope the management takes steps to improve these aspects for future guests.

깨끗한 모텔 수준

흡연객실이 있다보니 다른객실에도 전체적으로 담배냄새가 나고 대로변에 있어서 방음이 중요한데 차소리, 바람소리기 많이 나네요. 객실내부와 침구는 깨끗한데 침구류는 락스냄새가 많이 나요 전반적으로 편안한 잠을 못 잤네요
