9.6/10 Exceptional! (432 reviews)

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The front desk staff went out of their way to help us set up baggage transfer and always greeted us with a friendly smile. The hotel was very clean. There was a Family Mart around the corner which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel to any travelers.
