Cons:

The stay was extremely disappointing. I arrived quite late on the night of my stay, around 22:30. I called to inform them of my check-in time and asked about the parking space. I hoped someone would inform me when I could check in. As a result, the front desk only told me to park on the opposite side. They didn't specify exactly where, which led to me receiving a ticket the next morning. After reporting it to the hotel, the hotel said the front desk was certain that they had indicated the parking location to me. I don't know who was lying. I hope that future guests staying at this hotel will be cautious. Very unhappy.
