Breakfast no accommodation yes
Pros:

Very comfortable bed and beautiful surrounding

Cons:

Breakfast was a let down, food was cold and they packed up around us as we were serving ourselves so we had to race back get the food off the trollies. The feeling they gave us was bad. Attitude side eye. Very uncomfortable 😕

很棒的住宿地點與服務。
Pros:

1. Stay green 可以每晚500點加入membership 帳戶內，我很喜歡。
2. 地點很棒，方便到訪Queen Street Mall， 而且搭公車和火車都很方便。

Cons:

1. 我住在有view of valley的房間，要加錢，結果這房間的窗戶是落地窗，不是半截的窗戶，我有一點懼高症，不敢開窗戶，所以選這種要多付費的房型是錯誤的決定。
2. 浴室的玻璃門關不住淋浴的水，會流到洗臉檯下的地面上，建議準備踩腳布放在浴室內，不然我只好用浴巾當踩腳布。
3.早餐缺乏蔬菜。

EXCELENTE RELACION PRECIO-CALIDAD
Pros:

Lo que mas me gusto fue la relación precio calidad. La verdad que sentí que mi dinero valió la pena. La habitación era muy linda, todo estaba impecable, la cama grande y cómoda. Nada de ruidos, sin dudas volveré si mantienen el precio.

Cons:

La zona del desayuno estaba atestada de gente, me costo encontrar donde sentarme a pesar de ser una persona sola, pero quizas ese dia habia un contingente y me toco justo con ellos. La oferta de comida es buena, el cafe gratuito es malo, recomiendo comprar un expresso.
