Good
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and courteous. Jin in particular helped me out a lot, and gave me directions when I was lost. Great location, right next to two convenience stores and like 10 restaurents. Also just a 4 minute walk from a gym, and a 10 minute walk from the party scene.

Cons:

I wish light cleaning was just automatic, rather than having to ask. Also, I didn't get any hair conditioner.

Proximity to community, food, subway, etc.

Cons:

The outdoor spa wasn't very functional, water was extremely hot and would've taken hours to fill up. Bed wasn't overly comfortable.
