Cons:

I would rate this hotel 2 out of 4 stars. From the beginning, the staff was not very professional during check-in. There was also unbearable noise from music and private parties almost every night until around 1–2 AM during my stay. Even worse, the bathroom ventilation did not work at all, which caused a very unpleasant smell.

I apologize, but the hotel management should be more responsible and improve these issues.
