We checked in on the Christmas Eve. The house is recently renovated with spacious bedrooms. The beds are firm, which we like it. The shower place is huge and clean. However, the towels and room area rugs look a bit outdated. The kitchen utensils can be upgraded and better organized. Here are the areas definitely...

"Serves basically as a comfortable place to sleep at night. Not a place to hang out, but if you're out all day, it fills the bill. Breakfast is fairly basic, but considering the price of the hotel, pretty decent. One minor complaint; my room had a desk but no chair; staff said they would bring one in, but never did."
