Excellent Stay in a Great Location

subway stationlaundry facilitiesgrocery store
I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the subway station, it was less than a five minute walk. The on-site coin operated washer and dryer were convenient for managing laundry . There were also good options for dining and grocery shopping located nearby so meals were easy.
The room size was smaller than expected, yet this is common for the price point.

I smelled cigarettes everywhere despite selecting a non-smoking room. The cleaning staff smelled bad and the odor spread on the entire floor. Breakfast offered mostly Asian food and had limited options for those unused to that type of cuisine.

Excellent Stay in a Great Location

bus accesscomfortable bedquality shower
The hotel has a convenient location near bus and subway lines, enabling easy access to city attractions. The room was very clean and i found it comfortable, with a good shower and quality wash products in the compact bathroom. I liked the firm beds. I found them adequately comfortable. the air conditioning worked very well.
The entrance lobby doubles as the breakfast area, which i found a bit strange visually.
