10/10 Exceptional

Very clean room and comfortable bed. LED TV is large and connects to Netflix and Youtube. Breakfast is also better than expected. Staff are all very nice too.
PINGLIANG, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My stay of six days visiting family was overall very pleasant. There was a high standard of cleanliness in the room, breakfast area and outside on the grounds. The foyer was comfortable and welcoming. It was good to see minor repairs and updates being taken care of around the building. It seemed that there was a genuine desire to make it a good place to stay. Thank you !

Cherin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room 206. Like: Property had a good structure, well lay out and airy. Plus with the recent remodeling the full room that elevated the room quality significantly. Room was spacy. Bed was comfortable. Dislike: Bed base was a sheet metal wrap around that make noise and echo noise when my feet hitting the frame. Note sure why the facility chose this material that might cause pain if guest hit it harder. Bed sheets were older and had existing stain. Bath towels were mixed of old and new. Continental breakfast had one waffle maker that takes 2.5 min. Guests lined up in queue. Adding a second maker might be best. Coffee quality could be better. Overall, I would like to grade 4.5 star for the experience.
Dien, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly. The tv didn't work well (the picture was less thana quarter the sizeof the screen) and the bath towels were terrible - stained, small and very old. The shower had calcium build up so the water flow was somewhat blocked. The guests above us stomped about afyer midnight, but that's not the fault of the hotel.
