Building located in heart of downtown. You can take metro from airport and short walk. The front desk is on 4th floor, you hit 'F' button to check-in. There is no '4' on the elevator buttons. Shopping and food within walking distance. Good place for price.

Great location. Good value for the price.

Location was right in the heart of a unique part of downtown. Bars, shopping, great reastaraunts all right around the hotel. Was ok with me but could be loud at night as a dance club is nearby.

완전 도심에 위치해 있어서 장단점 있어요

1. 세면대 온수가 고장나서 찬 물만 나와요 양치할 때 불편함이 컸습니다 2. 컴퓨터 없어요 3. 상가 건물의 5, 6층이 숙박 시설이라서 운전할 때 초보는 신경 많이 쓰여요(행인들 엄청 많고 주차 공간 협소) 4. 정수기 없고 500밀리 물병 3개 제공합니다 5. 침대 매트리스 꿀렁꿀렁합니다 6. 조금만 걸어가면 편의점 있어서 편해요
