"Clean room, staff are nice, breakfast is not all-you-can-eat buffet, but the bread is delicious. No supermart nearby. Generally this hotel is good, the only two problems are the noise from driving car is very large, also the check-in time is very late (17:00, we were lucky to check-in early at 15:00)."
