Liked: Amenities
The staffs are friendly and the hotel is a family friendly. But room is not as good. We stayed in room 502 and paid extra $60 a night. The bottom of the ac unit is very dusty, the floor is very dirty, the toilet flush is broken, and the front door has a big gap around the frame that its letting the cold air coming in.
