Not so good stay this time around. The aircon's temperature could not be adjusted and was not cool. Hotel management provided us with an ELECTRIC FAN! They also provided free dinner. Also, the key cards were playing up, sometimes did not unlock the doors from outside.

Clean hotel

Clean hotel, room was nice, and Queen beds were just right Breakfast Buffett was good but on pricey side will hold bags after checkout to grab later in the day when ready to go to plane. Next to Chinatown if you love Asian food. Would stay there again
