The property is situated strategically where it is accessible by walking to the different destinations. The reception was helpful when help was required. The breakfast offers were not very good and they do not changed daily. They do not have a good spread of Chinese and western food.

The only thing that was a big disappointment was the breakfast. We didn't include it so paid for it and it was underwhelming and expensive for what you got quality-wise. The hotel itself, would definitely stay there again.
