The room was not clean - the shower curtain smelled strongly of mildew. The sheets and pillowcases were stained. The air conditioner did not work very well and was very dirty. The room needs to be updated. Staff were nice and friendly.

Noise transmits freely through the building. The top floor may be better but the noise in the main floor unit near the stairs was persistent and disturbing.

It has great view, and the inside decoration is beautiful. I like the style. The breakfast was perfect with many choices. However, the room is small and a little hot, you can try to turn on the small air conditioner. The price was a little bit high.
