Hotel is good-- especially for the price. Very clean, no funny smells. Wet clothes hung up in the bathroom dried very fast-- good ventilation! It was fun to have a pool, but the water was a little cold (it's hard to stay warm in winter).

It was noisy until late in the evening, possibly due to an event on the day of my stay. Breakfast was not included, and the place was just average. I used it to take a brief rest while passing through.

房間有點老舊了，綠化環境還不錯，但房間連基本的礦泉水都沒有，給前台要也衹有收費的。跟這價位實在不成正比
