I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the staff was extremely helpful, providing great support and recommendations during my visit. However, the room facing the elevator hallway was a bit noisy at times. On the bright side, the vending machines selling detergents were convenient to have around.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. The rooms were tidy and clear, although not very big, they were spacious enough for two people and came with sufficient amenities. The service was top-notch, especially from Brandon Pak and the young lady on night shift who were really kind and attentive to details. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the metro station and airport express bus. However, the dining experience was a bit hit-or-miss with food that didn't fully meet my expectations.
