Our room has foul smell from the drain. Initially, we thought it would go away. It remained for two days until we notified the front desk. The thermostat in the room was also not working. The front desk informed us that the room temperature is centrally controlled. That is crazy! Our room temperature was like 26 degree Celsius.
However, staffs were great. They tried their best to serve us, but the facility is a disappointment. :-(

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were spacious and the staff were friendly. The rooms themselves were extremely warm; you could not manage the room temperature independently.
good hotel with good location - fairly quiet.
annoying that you could not adjust room temperature so it was too hot (not wanting to open the window for the noise from the street).
cleaning staff excellent friendliness - reception staff average.
