8.1Verified guest

“Overall, a very comfortable and cool hotel. I came with my 5-month-old baby. The location was great—various shops and convenience stores were within walking distance. It was only a 4-6 minute walk to Yang Chow Restaurant for dinner. Everything was just wonderful.”

8.1Verified guest

“It's in Chinatown, which feels safe, with great restaurants and shops nearby. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was okay, but it was served on plastic plates and cutlery, which felt wasteful and not good for the environment.”

8.1Verified guest

“General maintenance was below standard, cleanliness was below standard, and neither the internet nor the TV worked in the room. The overall impression was depressing. The continental breakfast was the worst we've ever had—I saw bread that had fallen on the floor put back on the bread rack.”
