9/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)

Excellent location, most of the major attractions are in walking distance. The whole area is very nice, you can safely walk on the street at night. Staffs were very kind. Our room was comfortable and spacious. My only complaint is the portable air conditioner, it was quite noisy.

8/10 Very Good! (150 reviews)

Loved this property. It was quiet and the staff were very friendly. My only warning ⚠️ was that there was no air conditioning, and I had to kill a few spiders 🕷️ that got into the room. If you stay here in the summer, be prepared for the heat, since there is only a small fan in the room.
