Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offered us a spacious room that accommodated our family of five, which was a major plus. The cleanliness of the room was okay, but the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. While the service was decent and the staff was friendly, the location isn't ideal, being a bit far from the main attractions. For the price, it could work for a large group needing basic accommodations, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
The hotel felt more like a budget rental than a proper hotel, with ongoing renovations making the entrance awkward and the exterior uninviting. However, I found the rooms to be clean and relatively spacious, which was a plus. The location is a bit out of the way from the main attractions, but it was convenient for accessing nearby amenities. Overall, if you're looking for a basic stay without high expectations, this place might work.
I stayed here during the busy Chinese New Year and had mixed feelings. The room was huge and a great fit for my family, which was a definite plus. However, the hotel's condition was quite lacking, with an unimpressive exterior and poor maintenance overall. If you need space for a large group and can overlook these issues, it might be an acceptable choice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who values comfort.
I stayed here during Chinese New Year and had mixed feelings about my experience. The room was huge and offered great value for our big family, but the hotel itself felt more like a rundown motel. While the service wasn't very welcoming, and the building needed significant improvements, we ultimately decided to stay for multiple nights since it was difficult to find better options during the peak season.
During my stay, I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. While I appreciated the spacious room suitable for my family, the overall condition of the property left much to be desired. The location was not particularly ideal, and some parts of the hotel felt neglected. However, it was a decent value for the price, especially during peak season.
