Location is good and within 1km of shopping areas. The area feels safe and good neighborhoods. Good eat close by. Unfortunately, rooms are really run down and my aircon didn't function all night. The staff tried fixing it with no success and I was not offered any compensation. Renovation is really needed guys. Thanks.
