- Review: Price is good. We are a family of four and we got a container with six beds. The room is clean but my daughter complained that it has some sort of motor oil or paint smell (I didn’t smell anything). Staff was friendly. They allowed me to check in at 2pm. Their instruction of finding the hotel helped. Location is nice. I recommended for family more than 4 people as it is not easy to find room with 6 beds. The room is narrow because it is a container., by Ella, September 3, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
