The location is in the middle of chinatown.Very crowded and noisy. Didnt like the service and rooms.But if you are under low budget and want to spend more time in sight-seeing and shopping then definitely recommended. More

Not only did it look like the room design hadn't been updated in a very long time, it was as... More
