Excellent Location and Clean Facilities
convenient locationspacious roomchocolate treatmissing water
The location was very convenient, near Central Station and Chinatown. It was easy to travel to and from a concert at Olympic Park. The room was spacious, and I liked the option for colored lighting. I was able to check in early, and a small chocolate treat welcomed me in the room.
The facilities were not as advertised. Water was not provided in the room. Room service left rubbish around if it was not placed in the bin and never cleaned or replaced used glasses and mugs.
