This hotel offers a convenient location right above a supermarket and next to a fried chicken outlet, which is great for last-minute needs. However, the lack of in-room Wi-Fi and the cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired. The hotel definitely needs a revamp and the 24-hour Wi-Fi limit can be a hassle for business travelers.

Overall, it's convenient if you're close to your business or leisure activities, but don't expect much beyond that.
