The quality sun is setting on SUN1
Pros:

Not much except brand loyalty

Cons:

You guys can be cheaper for the features you offer or a least loose the museum TVs and showers to justify the prices honestly. You won't be riding the "Sun" badge much longer beyond the Group bookings if you don't shape up

FYI, I've been one of your long stay guests from over 20 years ago as a teen. And honestly for 600 per night, your competition is TIGHT

It was okay, I guess.
Pros:

The convenience to shops and to the stadium. Their coffee station near the reception.

Cons:

The place was very small, only accommodating to individuals, even the towels are only for one person, so is the small soap. Now comparing to what I’ve experienced in other hotels, they ensure that there is enough for both the guests if the RSVP is for two people. In general there wasn’t much there.
