The location is super convenient. McDonald is the next door, and Pizza hut, KFC, and other restaurants are also a stone drop distance. New World and Woolworth are just behind. Super amazing location. The room is not very clean. The soundproof is not very good. So better be quiet. The boss is a warm, friendly couple.
