The Jung Hotel and Residences
"The furnishings and building were pretty nice and the location is good in terms of proximity. The staff was hit or miss. Some were very sweet and helpful; some didn’t seem to be aware they were at work. There’s not much in the way of food availability, so plan ahead to bring your own snacks."
