This is not a conventional hotel. It's like a bed & breakfast (or an apartment with a couple of added perks). The rate is expensive for what they offer.
There is always a staff member at the 2nd floor front desk from 8am until 12am. I was very happy with their friendliness and helpfulness. It was a positive experience. If you're not looking for assistance from staff, then think about staying in an apartment because you'll pay half the price of this place.
There are some negatives that I was surprised with, and I wish I had known about them:
- The room (iTube) was extremely small, with absolutely no storage space. You have a night table and 5 hangers on a rack. That's it!
- The cleaning of the rooms could be improved, especially the bathroom floor and the sink area (there was toothpaste scum left in the toothbrush holder from past guests).
- There are 3 rooms (including iTube) that face the patio area. On several occasions, guests would return to the hotel way after midnight, drink, talk out loud and laugh. It was very annoying as it was right under the window. This happened around 1am - 3am. I strongly recommend the hotel staff to lock the door to the patio when they leave at midnight.
- There is no phone in the room!
- Breakfast is served starting at 8am (too late), and it is extremely limited.
- Shower: water must run for 5-10 minutes to get it warm.
- On the day of departure, I went to see the cook at 7:20am but he refused to provide a bite to eat. Not nice!
