Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely balcony in the rooms, but the air conditioner was not working properly. The service, from both male and female staff members, was a bit strange. The location was convenient, near downtown but hard to get a taxi. The dining experience was decent, with nice side dishes. The hotel facilities were basic.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the balcony in the room was a nice touch, the non-working air conditioner was a downside. The male staff members were quite odd, but the female staff members were more pleasant. The hotel offered a range of services, from room service to laundry, and the location was convenient, close to the city center. However, the dining experience with grits was disappointing.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had a balcony, but the non-working air conditioner was disappointing. The male staff members provided strange service at reception, which was off-putting. The location was convenient, close to the Hailun Road subway station and easy to reach by taxi. However, the dining options, particularly the indulgent pastries, weren't as indulgent as expected.
The hotel is ideally located close to the riverside and in a bustling restaurant area. The rooms, though with a balcony, had a non-working air conditioner. The male staff members provided exceptional service, but the receptionist was a bit unusual. Overall, the experience was mixed with some positives and negatives.
The hotel is located close to the Hailun Road subway station and offers a balcony with the rooms. The air conditioner was not working properly, which was a downside during my stay. The staff, especially the male receptionist, had a strange attitude, but the female staff members were more pleasant. The location is convenient for accessing the riverside and City Centre. The dining experience offered fresh unlimited pancakes, a nice touch, making up for some of the other shortcomings in the facilities. The value for money was decent, considering the provided services and amenities.
