Bad service and manner
Pros:

Chopsticks and bowl sent to room is free last night but today with a rediculous charge Aud 8 for chopstick delivery to room tonight. The manager named Lucy was extremely rude and bad manner and without a reasonable explanation. How can a hotel with this kind of service. Like a one star motel. Not recommend to stay.
