I checked into this hotel on Friday, so the price was 2,300, which is twice as expensive as usual. It is considered a motel in general. The decoration is American-style and parking is free. Some people have rated the breakfast very well, but I think it is very average. It only has some bread and cold boiled eggs. There is a tofu and vegetable snack. There is no bacon, sausage, or vegetables. The fruit is cantaloupe, which is quite disappointing. If around 1,000 is acceptable, then the service is considered normal.

衞生條件不好，睡完癢癢的。注意酒店不是封閉式的，我知道可能有點難理解，就是行人可以直接來敲客房的門。然後晚上確實被流浪漢擰房門了，嚇了一跳。
