"The room was neat and clean. Not much of a variety in breakfast to choose. Friendly staff the moment you step in the hotel. Despite the Earthquake we experienced on october 9th, 2026, the hotel staff was very helpful accompanying the guests with their evacuation plan. The only minor issue is that the neighborhood is not so clean once you step out of the hotel. A lot of stores and shops nearby. Surely would recommend this hotel."
