The hotel is newly built, so it’s very clean. It has a lot of facilities, like kitchen, laundry, work room, gym facilities. The room is cozy and has a lot of space even after I open my luggage.

The location is convenient which is right next to the train station. Bu...

Unfortunately there’s a lot of young college kids who reside here throughout the year. They are loud at all times of the night and very messy in common areas. “Management” doesn’t seem to care about penalizing folks who break the rules, so nothing ever gets resolved. Always, the young woman who works part-time and the front desk is extremely rude.

Zero service with no receptionist and zero route to get help. Tiny gym that you need a reser...

I arrived at 11 PM when the receptionist was already closed. They gave instructions on how to enter the hotel and room using the QR code sent to my email. If you take the airport limousine bus, the hotel is right across the bus stop. It's a very unique hotel, recommended for solo travelers, and it even has laundry and a kitchen!
