When I first arrived, there was a large solid gate that had to be opened by the staff to allow entrance. At first, I thought that would be an inconvenience, but it was not. The staff was super efficient about monitoring as I approached, and opening the gate for me. I had to leave early in the morning (4 AM) and the staff member was ready for me to open the gate for my departure. So what I thought was going to be an issue, was not. Everything else at the hotel was wonderful. My room was excellent, they had a small pool, which was refreshing And the staff was extremely helpful in so many ways. The location was also good, close to restaurants and a good sized shopping mall.
