"The hotel was very nice! The rooms were clean and modern and the service was great. We thought there would be a microwave in the room and there was not, but there was a sizable mini fridge so that worked for us. The continental breakfast was included in our stay and it was great! Several options and the food was very good. The room was quiet and it was located near many attractions, such as the Museum of Natural History. It was only about a 10-15 minute drive to the beaches and the SB Zoo as well. We had our 5-year-old with us and it was family friendly. Overall, a really wonderful stay."

It is similar to the Hanting Hotel in China, and the rooms are not as bad as the Hilton in Miami and Los Angeles. The location is good, right on the seaside, not far from the pier."

We drove to the west to see the sunset! #前服务# Very enthusiastic, we have no language but brought a translator, they are very patient to explain to us. #早餐# Generally, it is not suitable for us, and the types are relatively small. It’s all bread. #小失望# They don't have a free parking lot. 💲 30 / night. But the little brother who helped stop the parking is not bad. Handsome and patient."

"With many rooms available on Wednesday, I don't understand why they gave us a room furthest from the central restaurant. We had to walk through another building to get to it, and it faced a cricket ball site. The room wasn't even square; it was slanted. I was a bit disappointed. During check-in, the receptionist talked a lot, seemingly oblivious to whether we understood, which was very pushy. At breakfast, the waitress insisted we sit in her assigned seats, which was uncomfortable. Most ridiculously, the bathroom was terrible. I don't usually give hotels bad reviews, but this night's experience was truly unpleasant. The only positive was the hotel's dinner restaurant. The waiter service was excellent, and watching the sunset outside the window was pleasant."
