Good location
Pros:

Right in the middle of china town with many eateries, good bed and good shower.

Cons:

The hotel lobby can be noisy with shouting/loud speaking guests. We were lucky they didn’t stay close to our room. A big negative is the fact that there was a smoking smell in the room. Although we had a non-smoking room, Airco’s are connected in one system and the smoke smell is distributed over other rooms.
