We verify reviews to ensure the traveller booked with Expedia Group. Travellers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
The hotel is within walking distance of the CBD and restaurants. The shopping mall under the hotel is nearly deserted due to COVID and the people hanging out there makes you feel uneasy
Great location! Room very comfortable and clean. Staffs very helpful and friendly! Worth to stay here.
