It’s rare to find an ocean view hotel for a reasonable price, but this hotel has it! We stayed on the top floor with the balcony overlooking the ocean and it was amazing. A beautiful view to wake up to. Highly recommend!

The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

clean, spacious, safe

location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.
