8.4/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)
In general it was good. However we arrived early and in spite of room availability, the employee who checked us in gave us really hard time to check in early. we were not asking for any special favors but they were bent upon not letting us in the room early. All other staff was friendly.

8.6/10 Excellent! (104 reviews)
The room is so small, the hotel floor is so dirty and filthy of stuffs by the hall way. For first time visitor with no more than 2 people is ok. But I give 5 stars for the location and early check in accommodation. Very convenient and close to all tourist attractions. Best location for those who love shopping.
