The hotel was located pretty close to everything which was nice. When we went in the room it smelt odd and the AC was not working.

可能當地本來就比較潮濕,進門就是一股潮濕的氣味,地板也是黏糊糊的。當時水龍頭下水開關都壞了。除了前台部分員工poker face以為,其餘都還算熱情。地理位置可以,在老城,去哪裡都較方便,洗澡比較舒服。

No refrigerator in the room. $22 to park. You have parking spaces, it should be included in price of the room. Only one ground entrance that we found, by the pool/restaurant. Room was very clean and nice. The bed was very comfortable and hallway was quiet during the night. Would have appreciated a refrigerator in the room to keep our waters cold. Front desk person was nice but more than once I told her I couldn't hear her (other noise at the desk) and she didn't bother to try and raise her voice. The valet guys were EXCELLENT! They directed traffic, opened door for us to go in the hotel, asked if they could help us.
