Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is so good with so many good food nearby. The room is always neat and clean. They assigned the same room attendant that takes special effort to keep the room clean. Noyon Meme, my room attendant took special effort to put a nicely folded napkins on my desk to decorate my room.

Totally unexpected, and such a thoughtful touch. Overall, the hotel i...
