Good choice for budget traveler, with well equipped amenities and great location.
Pros:

Amenities are well provided. . Location is excellent, right in the middle of town within walking distance to shopping malls and food eateries.

Cons:

The room is very compact and no much space for handling a small luggage bag. The bed frame is not sturdy enough and quaking a bit
