Yes it was a very nice stay. The hospitality lady named Ayoy was so friendly and kind when I had to changed to a better room. I was traveling alone so she took good care of me! She told me about where to exchange money and made sure I got to the airport with special driver from the hotel. That felt really special and personalized. Thanks for a wonderful hospitality job and it was perfect vacation!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we checked in, we received two bags full of juice and goodies as a welcome gift. We were allowed a late checkout and free transportation to the airport. The room was clean and had a kettle, 4 bottles of free water/day, coffee, tea, and sugar. The hotel is only a 10 min walk to night bazaar. It is close to a 7-11 and lots of restaurants and massage places. We would definitely recommend staying here.
