Some part of the hotel currently under going renovation and upgrade. The room I get is spacious and it come with standard American style breakfast choices. The staff are friendly and helpful. The underground parking is spacious for any vehicle but need to pay US$20 a night.

Every thing was good but could have be a better variety of breakfast foods and a pool would have been nice too but overall we were very happy especially about the cleanliness was so good.
