Arrived 8:50 pm and left really early in the morning. Reception closes at 8:00~8:30 pm. So could not see any staff. Had to leave the key in a box. Parking was on the driveway in open space. Nothing great but nothing to complain about. The building is old but the renovation inside was good. One thing I was annoyed about was the lack of a desk or proper table where I could do some work with my laption. There was a small round shaped table which was too small.
