It's a Sunday night so it's crowded. But the parking lot is large than enough. Snacks and drinks were supplied in the lounge before dinner time. The buffet dinner and breakfast were good too with a large variety of food. One downside is the facilities are a bit old. But some parts of the hotel have been renovated

It is also a pleasure to know that our parking facilities met your expectations even during a busy Sunday stay. On the other hand, we regret that the age of some facilities did not fully meet your expectations. While parts of the hotel have been renovated, we acknowledge that there are still areas that require improvement, and we will continue working on enhancing the overall comfort of our property. Your valuable feedback encourages us to further improve our services and facilities. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for an even more comfortable stay in the future.
